Scroll down to get a 3 picture recap of the day's 3 sports. 3 Pictures + 3 Sports = "My First Tri" Dodging roots, rocks, squirrel distractions and scenic waterfront views, these young men made quick work of a solid 1.25 mile run covering asphalt, crushed gravel, soft sand and hard packed trail.  The homies handled passing vehicles like champs and stayed focused on pushing pedals and accomplishing their goal of knocking out another leg of this multi-sport adventuresome day.  Instead of following traditional Triathlon order, the fellas opted for paddleboards and not an open water swim. They also hit the water last instead of first just in case, you know, they wanted to play around in the water for a bit to cool off after a tough run and bike session.
