Westi, do your thing … Everyone, click thumbnails to see the full deal.

That’s what Dad said I should call this post. He’s not into blogging but he did send me this photo for posting. And in his words …

“Steven finished running the triathlon on Sunday, 11 SEP 05. Did so in 3 hours, 10 seconds. Hurt my feelings. I ran my first triathlon in 3 hours and 7 minutes. Not fair. Probably his bike cost more than mine. Of course, I was panting and dying when I finished. Steve acted like it was a morning walk through the park. Michele, his mother, a friend from Marygrove (Sally), and I were there to see him finish. Of course, I had to drive 800 miles to get to where he ran. But, he did great! I must add, that it was really nice of his sister to drive all that distance, and take time off of studies, and to miss church, to watch him run.”

I’m trying to be inspired by you, little brother, rather than just feeling envious. Congratulations on your first triathlon! Will there be more in your future?
