Titanium Man

Every year Shawn does the Titanium Man Triathlon in Kennewick. We all go down as a family and have fun playing at the park while intermittently cheering on Dad as he passes by on the bike and run.
The triathlon is Olympic length which means: 1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run. If that seems like a lot to you, Shawn will be doing the Grand Columbian half-iron in 2 weeks which is: 1.2mi swim, 56 mi bike, 13 mi run! Craziness! Anyhow, this year it was really fun because we saw Shawn at the last part of the run and Blake and Will decided to run with him. Shawn doesn't take it too seriously so he was happy to indulge them. Blake ran for about a half mile and Will actually ran the last mile with him and went through the finish line.Afterwards we went to a little "water" park and the kids enjoyed one of the last hot days of summer there.
