Jeffs First Triathlon

Well Caleb inspired Jeff to do a triathlon. Jeff was then given the opportunity to compete is the Panasonic Tri series (Panasonic is a company that Jeff's work has alot to do with).  So he and another workmate decided to give it a go and he got hooked. With loads of training, a membership to the local pools and gym, Jeff got up each morning at 5 and worked out for 1-2 hours depending on what my study schedule allowed.

 Jeff and Sean about to start and both very nervous
 In the water waiting for the race to start
 Starts with a 500meter ocean swim, though the water doesn't look too bad, it was rather rough
 Coming out of the swim, looking rather exhausted
 Recovering a bit now.... off for the 20 km bike ride, which ended up being quite hilly
 Now for the final stage - the Run which was 5km
 Coming in towards the finish
 Up on stage
And across the finish line.
He completed the Triathlon in 1 hr 28 min, ahead of his workmate Sean.
Caleb, Hayley and I were there to cheer Jeff on, he did awesome and are so proud of him. He is already planning for the next one.
