Run Bike Swim Forrest Run Bike Swim!!

Okay, I'm sorry to the world, cos in actuality I did something that was blogworthy and I didn't blog about it within 24 hours. What's wrong with me?!

This past Sunday, C & I went to go check out Grizz Lee , Vcious, and Aaron at the Nautica Triathlon! It was 1/2 mile ocean swim, then an 18-mile bike ride and 4 mile run, all back to back. Yeah, that's right, you try it!

Check out our man in the westsuit!



It was awesome to cheer people on along each event. We saw a guy swimming with a prosthetic leg, a blind woman led by another triathlete and so on. It is amazing how much people see about their own will during these events! Here's Vcious racing and running for Team Disney:
















Chris emerges from the water and gets ready to transition from his wetsuit to bike.























He totally kicked asphalt in the 4-mile run, clocking in a 7:30 average mile. Try that after swimming and biking, my friends. Congrats, Grizzy! Here he is at hte finish line:






















A prize winning hug. Chris sandwich:







It was such a great morning in Malibu and I'm so glad we went out to support you guys! Thank you!

M - Thanks for putting up some pics! Next time maybe you and C can join us =) But honestly though, those people from Challenged Athletes were such an inspiration, they had great will and determination.
