Go daddy!

Steve decided last fall that he really wanted to do the Omaha triathlon. At first I thought he was kidding and crazy but he was not joking. He invested in a nicer bike than his original Wal-mart bike he bought back in college and started biking to work until to got too cold to ride. He has always been a strong swimmer since his early grade school days so that comes natural to him. And because he was brought up an athlete, running wasn't a hard adjustment either.

What has he been doing to get ready?? He will ride his bike to work (9 miles) then at lunch time he will run to the gym (2 miles) then swim (1 mile) at the gym then run (2 miles) back to work. Finish the day by riding (9 miles) back home. So he has already been training and it looks like he already does a triathlon everyday he rides to work. I'm amazed and so proud! You better believe that the kiddos will be in "That's my daddy" shirts cheering on dada come July 21st!

OLYMPIC DISTANCE

The olympic distance is our main course for this event. The distances consist of a 1500 meter swim, a 40KM bike, and a 10K run. With a little training, anyone can complete this distance.

THE SWIM - 1500 Meters, just under one mile. The swim starts at the boat dock along the South shore in a rectangular pattern and back to the boat ramp for transition.

THE BIKE - The bike course is a 40 km, out and back, fast and rolling course. This is a great improvement over the original 2010 course. Out past Lake Cunningham East on State St. then North on 72nd, West on Bennington Road, merge right to HWY 36, and turn-around at Bennington Lake. Follow the same course back to the lake area.

THE RUN - 10 km run along the trail on the West side of Cunningham Lake to Garvin Rd. Then take 96th to Hwy 36 and back.

Steve received a miter saw for Christmas and he was just waiting for the perfect time to start using it. Our first project was a family chalkboard. Steve found the perfect pieces of wood to put it together. Check it out!

Nice work!
