His MoJo Is BACK!!!

The alarm came early this morning! With everything packed we just needed to hit the road. With Speedy Feet they are always the first people there, this race was timed by a different group and when we pulled into the lot - we were the only ones there! I had this sinking feeling it was Saturday not Sunday. About that time another car pulled in - thank heavens!!!

This race took us back to one of the first Triathlons Jeff had ever done (and at this canoe livery). Everybody had to ride a bus to the start - Jeff was grinning ear to ear on the bus, lovin' the bus ride.

First solo guy started to get in his kayak, apparently he slipped and went into the water. I got my camera ready in case Jeff had a repeat act of Tony's - nope perfect entry and ready to roll (or paddle).

His new canoe glides over the water. Plus it helped the extra training he has done in the canoe last couple of weeks. First out of the water.

He was out on the road all alone for his run. Unfortunately, no water stops which I know will hurt of the competitors as it kept getting hotter. Huge smile on his face finishing up the run.
Excellent transition for the bike. This was a two lap course and was happy to see him looking great on the second lap.
Crossing the finish line, I think the timers were a little surprised he came in a quick as he did. The young lady made a comment about his time then asked his age. She was shocked he is 60 (OK - no big head on not looking your age -but will let you be full of yourself for a day or two on your win! Then you need to get over it - lol)
Excellent race, everything worked just like clock work. Looking forward to the next one!!
