Spudman 2008, I have 2 children that are not to smart, and 3 in-law children that are not to smart either. But Lynda and I sure are proud of them....

July 25th, me, Lynda, Sue, John,Kevin,Lisa,Kim & A J met at Kim's house to head to Burley, Idaho to participate in there annal Spudman Triathlon on Saturday the 26th.

We had to stay at Jerome, Idaho which is 40 miles further than Burley because that was the only place that we could get some rooms. John might be not so smart because doing the triathlon but he sure was smart when he has already reserved us some rooms in Burley for next year. Good on you John.........

The swim is probably the least favorite of each one, but they all improved there swim times from last year. This year A J didn't swallow the river. We taught him to keep his mouth shut..

The bike ride everyone does a good job and doesn't mind it to bad but for Kev & John it's there strong suit......

The run is the best for A J, Sue & Lisa. They feel most comfortable doing the run. For Sue she has been running so much she cut off more than 15 min. off her overall time from last years event. She's almost to Disney Land. Good going Sue...........

Those that didn't participate, Me (real smart) Lynda (very smart) & Kim ( pregnant & very very smart). The not so smart ones did fantastic and we are so very proud of them. We are also very glad that now one drowned, fell off there bike of broke a foot or ankle. A 60 year old man from Provo drowned about half way through the mile swim.

Below are some pictures of the event. Hope you all enjoy.



We met at Kim & A J's house. Here's John, with 4 bikes on, he is one proud BOY...........


We park on the golf course driving range. What a great place to sit down to get all of your stuff ready for the next morning. You all can see what I do best.........

Boy are we handsome or what?


Man, how do you get these things on? Says A J ............



Lisa and Sue, snug as a bug in a rug. Boy are these tight.




This is one of seven waves to start the swim.





Here comes Kevin, just hating this run.






A J sprinted past this dude for a strong finish.







John screaming and hollering at the finish as he usually does.








Sue and Lisa sprinting to the finish. Long legs usually win but this time they crossed together.









Smiles for all because there are done
