Though Shaun has done this Tri many times, this is the third time Sam and I have came to be his cheer squad. Each year Shaun improves and his goal this year was to be 33rd (ok, maybe it was my goal for him because I thought coming in 33rd at the age 33 would be cool) and he finished 36th. AMAZING. It is also increasingly fun to watch as Sam gets a little older. He's more aware of what's going on and it's easier to keep his attention. I think it's debatable who was more tired at the end of the race, Shaun or me. Though Shaun did all the racing, I was running back and forth throughout the course carrying Sam to try to catch all the highlight moments!

| Pre-race photo opt. It felt very chilly but luckily it warmed up by race time! |

| Sam tried on Dad's swim cap. |
 |
| SWIM! |
 |
| Shaun sped through the transition zone this year. |
 |
| Sam thought this sign was awesome. I think it was because it was down at his level, but he thought he was really funny standing beside it. |
 |
| We set up our viewing spot in the same place that we've watched for the past couple years. This year we were armed with snacks, drinks, dinosaur, tractor, colouring book, extra clothes, 2 blankets and more! We were very prepared! This is a photo of Sam cheering "Yay Dad!" |

| RUN |
 |
| After Shaun passed us for the last lap of his run, we ran to the finish line (it was across the street and about a block away). We made it in time to watch Daddy burn this guy at the finish line. Love it! |

| Sam has been wearing his Mother's Day Run medal for the past week. Here is a "medal cheers" as we enjoy some post race snacks at the finish line! |
