Rachel competed in the Crossroads Triathlon in DeWitt, Iowa today and performed like a champion. I think there should be a special triathlon category for sleep-deprived mothers. As you can see in the first picture, Rachel was tired before the race even started.
Here she is waiting to jump in the pond before the start. Luckily, Rachel loves treading water because this race had an in-water start.

Looking good! Almost there!
Calvin was very happy to see his mama after the race.
I'm very proud of Rachel for performing so well today, for riding a bike course lined with so many Devil Birds (aka Red Wing Black Birds), and for looking so good in her new tri shorts!

Calvin loves to be chased! He crawls away, turns around to make sure someone is following him, laughs, and then crawls away to start it all over again. We're having so much fun playing with him and watching him grow. And cleaning up the messes that he makes! We've discovered that Calvin loves homemade banana bread. The only problem is that he makes a huge mess when he eats it!
