On May 1st Jason participated in the "One and Only Wildflower Triathlon". This is one of our favorite because it is out at Lake San Antonio and requires camping. Since Jason isn't really one to "tent camp", we always rent an RV. We love it, which means we may own an RV/camping trailer in the near future. We left Friday morning for the 2 1/2 hour drive south. We got there in the early afternoon, found our campground, which was with a bunch of Jason's friends from his triathlon training class. One of them was a vendor at the event so our spot was in an awesome location. We spent the rest of the day exploring the festivities, and enjoying a carb loaded pasta dinner that we made in the RV. Jason got up early Saturday morning to get set up for the race. We came a few hours later to watch him. I love this tri because it is easy to watch the athletes transition. We saw him start and finish the swim, start on the bike and then finish the race. In between all that we tried (unsuccessfully) to get Ollie to nap. Jason finished in just over 6 hours, which is good, but not as good as his time last year. It was hotter this year, and the course is just really hard. One experienced triathlete told Jason if you can do the half ironman distance at Wildflower, you are 80% done with a full Ironman. Jason will find out if that is true in July. Saturday evening we just made dinner and relaxed at the campground. Sunday we enjoyed a big breakfast, and then went and supported Jason's classmates who were all racing the Olympic distance. We left Sunday afternoon. It was such a fun weekend. Hopefully he can do it again next year.

There was a kid play area that Ollie really enjoyed.

After not much napping, Ollie eventually conked out.
This picture shows a wave going out and some athletes coming in. Jason is the one closest to the camera, with the sleeveless wetsuit.
Finishing the swim (waving to friends), and running up to transition to the bike.
Finishing the race. He always finishes strong (and sexy with his jersey unzipped). Way to go honey!!!

Maybe Thurs, after we find out what we are having. Ok I am done! Love you Millers!
That looks really great! We had a camper trailer growing up and our family loved it. I'd love to have an RV one day, we just need a place to park it! Oh, and the money to buy it. I think it's great that jason's taking part in so many great events, it just makes him cooler in general I do believe.
hahaha - that last line about Jason's jersey being unzipped cracked me up. It was so much fun discussing The Hunger Games tonight! And I am so wanting to go camping now!
Love your belly shot with the lil fam! You look so cute. Hunger Games is the bomb, isn't it? Wait till the second one! ahhhh! so good. Well, I'm glad to hear Jason did well. Your fam is adorable.
