The San Francisco International Triathlon at Treasure Island was a success. They did eliminate the swim portion but kept everything else including the swim to bike transition. Byron did really well and placed in the middle of the crowd. Pretty respectable for a newbie. He ran his 10K in under 1 hour cutting several minutes off his last 10K time. Al of that after a 24 mile technical bike ride! Everytime we saw him he was smiling.
I was thrilled to be at the finish line and be the first to hug him.
We stayed to watch the pros race which was amazing. Their biking was a work of art. The glided by us with a buzz. It was awesome. Byron was startstruck by Hunter Kemper who raced past us and made eye contact with Byron. He won the race overall.

Please tell Byron how proud we are. Wow! What an accomplishment!! I am so happy he has found a focus that is so healthy and self-satisfying. Success at acheiving these goals will breed success in all areas of his life. The pics are awesome, I will treasure them.
