Daybreak tri

My family is getting a little bit (more) crazy and really getting into this whole TRIATHLON thing.  I don't know if it's because some good friends own a tri business and they got talked into it or if they really do LOVE it like they claim, or both.  Whatever the reason, tri season is a big one at the Nelson home.  

The DAYBREAK TRI started out the 2010 season.

My dad, Jess, Nils & Curt along with Uncle Kent & cousins Jennie, Mike, Julie, Matt & Jane and a few friends all raced.

And I have to add that Jennie and Julie did the Olympic.  WOW!

Since my parents live in Daybreak, a few people slept over the night before or stopped by that morning.  It was one hectic morning at the Nelson household.  These pics don't do it justice.

MAD HOUSE!!

Before the race.  Getting PUMPED... except for Curt.  Not sure what he's doing.

And seriously?!!  Is this NOT the best picture you've EVER seen?  They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, this one is worth a few more.  And maybe a few thoughts, too.  BTW- this is my handsome and fit father with his handsome and fit older brother, Kent.  Good luck fellas!

*my dad is SO gonna kill me for this one.

Curt took 4th in his division.  Way to go!!
*There weren't too many 15 year old racing.  The joke is that he took 4 out of 4- which ISN'T true.
