Sick of the Violence

I am sickened by the violence around the world that is being caused by Islamic Extremists. I pray for the people that are caught up in it, and hope we can somehow find a way to end it.

Chicago Triathlon

This last weekend was the Chicago Triathlon. With 7000 participants, it was quite an experience. It started with a mile swim in Lake Michigan right in front of Grant Park, the 25 mile bike seemed to take us all over the city both above and below ground, and the 10k lakefront run was beautiful. Besides some leg cramps, I was really happy with the race and my 2:34 time, 24th out of 192 in my age group. Mostly, I'm thankful that God has blessed me with my health and the ability to still compete.

Daddy & Boys Campout #9

We were at Bong again this year, and over the weekend Erik and Peter completed their Hunters Safety course. Watch out bambies, here they come!

Indoor Go-Kart Racing

Peter wore a GoPro camera when we went to K1 Speed in Buffalo Grove. He passes me at the 5:30 mark (I'm wearing the blue helmet). I almost caught him at the end when I bump off him at the finish line on his left. What a great race, and so much fun!
