Last winter, three of Lance's partners competed in an indoor triathlon. As he watched the competition, you could see the sense of regret in his eyes that he did not train and compete with them. After that day he committed to training for an olympic distance triathlon.
Two weeks ago, Lance competed in his first triathlon. He did an amazing job. The kids and I had a great time watching the race and cheering the competitors on at each stage.

Nice work Lance! I'm pretty sure if I tried to do a triathlon the finishing time 2 would stand for 2 days... Great work.
