May-The Rookie Triathlon

On May 9th, Grant completed his first triathlon! My mom, dad, and brother drove down to support Grant in his newest sporting endeavor. The Rookie Tri, in New Braunfels, was a 500-yard swim, an 11-mile bike ride, and a two-mile run. As usual, Grant's toughness and determination paid off. He was great!
