On July 14th Ben and his mom Jane did the Echo sprint Triathlon in Coalville, Utah. Ben trained for nearly seven months, waking up at 5am to swim, bike, and run. On a side note, for those of you who know me well and just read that, it's a miracle we ever ended up together isn't it? :) Anyway, they both did great. Nayeli and I cheered loud as we watched them...

| Jane (left) and Ben (right)) both finished super strong! We were cheering so loud! | | | |
|
 |
| Except Nayeli. She couldn't miss her morning nap. |
 |
| Ben did great! He finished 66th out of 280! I was so proud! |
 |
| With our friend Parker Woody who also did the triathlon |
 |
| This is the second time Jane has raced one of her sons in a triathlon. It's almost like a tradition now. And to Liesl my sister-in-law, the tradition of breastfeeding in the dirt lives on. |
