and I ran our first race of the year today. A sprint Tri just south of St. Cloud. The course was a one-third mile swim. A fifteen mile rolling hill bike. Followed by a three point one mile run. We have been training pretty consistently for it and felt prepared for it. The conditions were hot but we felt happy with our times. Lots of room for improvement. There were about 337 race numbers given out and 278 finished. John and I were very close, he came in at 1:26:47 and I came in at 1:25:41. We are thirsty for more. August 18 is our next race in Waupaca Wisconsin, and we will be joined by Brad Bone for this one. I am very excited for that. Brad will push us in the swim and the bike.
Then after that the three of us will take part in the Disney Tri for "team in training." Our fundraising is going well and we appreciate all the amazing support that has inspired us to do our very best to ho
nor Adams life and to encourage and inspire our "honored team mate" Brenden. If you would like to check our our Team in Training web sites they are www.active.com/donate/tntmn/drewprest www.active.com/donate/tntmn/johnkinghorn orwww.active.com/donate/tntmn/tntmnBBone I know that what we are doing is really making a difference. The last Minnesota group from "TNT" that raced in Maui raised over one million dollars. Disney should raise more than that. We are making a difference together. I know that positive encouragement that everyone has been giving me has certainly been inspiring. This next week will be a bit of a challenge for me. Adam and I shared the same age for six days of every year. He was born 7/12/74 and I 7/6/75. Not too many people share that with their siblings and I underestimated the impact it is having on me. Giving back in this way and being part of a team that is doing so many positive things keeps my spirts high. Having John and Brad to train with and grow together is such a blessing to me I could not even express how much it means to me that they are joining me in this inevor.
