Living, Loving, Learning, and leaving a Legacy

Richard, I mean "Daddy," you are wonderful!!!

Happy Father's Day

We are unbelievably blessed to have you!

Guess how much we LOVE our beaches?

I think our facial expressions and pristine coast speak loud enough!

Mexico Beach...where barefeet & sandy floors RULE!

& tickle me pwease!

time to say Night Night...yea, right!

If this picture is any evidence of how I'm going to do in the race, I'm in trouble!

Espresso...check...helmet, bike, shoes, goggles, wetsuit, check!

Smiles...Check!

Lifeguards? The buoys want even stay in place and I can't get a check on lifeguards...

Marc & Andrew, Once upon a time...Mommy did not know how to swim! Nancy taught me when I was 28 years old...may be in trouble!

Not a chance, She is an Excellent teacher and will someday soon teach you:)

Feeling powerful endorphins after the race

torturing Marc with more picture taking...obvious by the look on his face.

Sunshine on our shoulders....& sand between our toes!& sand between our toes!

Children, make sure you rinse your feet with the water hose before entering the house

and no running on the porch;)

However, Naps are allowed between 1pm and 3pm

India Hicks would be Proud!

but not as proud as the parents of these beautiful children!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.

See you Sept 11 2010

Training...The importance of form & technique

No Andrew, this is not training...These are my trains.

I'm trying to show daddy how to train smarter not harder...it's the red button on the left; if you press it, you can instantly run faster, maybe even fly?

The swim is the easy part and Coleman makes these awesome poolers ( i mean coolers) for speed work but not distance.

Mommy, you're silly, you can't wear a skirt in the triathlon.

Todd demonstrating racing form...arms swing chin to hip.

just like this mommy!

make sure you don't cross the line in the transition areas or you'll be DQ'd

and if you use this snap, you'll shave 30 seconds in T1 & T2

and smile all the way to the finish line.
