Kurt's Triathlon Sprint

I can't believe it, the end of May is here and the school year is coming to a close. Life has been busy and hectic as I'm considering a job change, training dogs, going to classes , birthdays, graduations and planning vacations.
Yesterday Brad and I gathered all the dogs and drove out to Lake Ming to watch Kurt who had entered the Action Sports Bakersfield Triathlon Sprint. First of all, what a mistake to have brought the dogs, there were fox tails everywhere and I found out that having a fluffy little Pomeranian around fox tails is AWFUL!! They were miserable and hours had to be spent to get rid of all those burrowing fox tails and we are still concerned that Daisy might have one in her ear. But, back to the Triathlon, Kurt did fantastic!! His final time was 1 hour 24 minutes and 37 seconds and he came in 3rd for his age group (20-24) and 18th overall!! Way to go Kurt and I bet this is just the first of many races. He trained a lot taking time to bicycle, run and swim in preparation for this race and loosing about 15 pounds in the process. Alisha, Barbie and Aubrey were also there to cheer him on.
