1st (hopefully) annual Stein Family Triathlon

This Spring, Anna came up with the idea of doing a family triathlon. So we decided to try one on this year on vacation. This afternoon, we left the house and headed for the Glenwood beach to start the triathlon.

Daddy, Alex and Anna started with the swim, about 150 yards from the shore to the far tower and back.


The five us then did the run, about a half mile around the Chalet.


The Daddy, Alex and Anna finished the day with a 4 mile bike ride to Grandma and Grandpa's house.


The ride was followed by Gatorade, an awards show, in which everyone was recognized for their particular area of specialty. We also received our family triathlon t-shirts! This was followed by a victory supper at Wendy's in Alexandria, and Ice Cream at the Glenwood Dairy Queen.

We look forward to next years triathlon, when we hope to swim a little farther, run a little faster, and bike a little stronger.
