I know he wanted to win the whole damn thing............but a Top 5 finish out of the entire field is damn cool. He told me all the big guns showed up for this race. I'm thinking Rio 2016 might be a good damn vacation. .
Pretty cool to watch these boys grow up doing their thing. It's a great ride without a doubt. 11 days to the CBC kickoff tailgate for football. Gonna be a special year without a doubt.

I'm pumped up also. He had 4 people ask him yesterday if he was playing college ball, since he had on a Tshirt from one of his camps this summer. They couldn't believe he was just 17 and in HS. Can't wait to see where it all takes him and Griff.
I know Cody is ready and pumped up to make some players his biatch as he puts it. Those boys have a bright future. Proud of them both. Amazing to get a first hand view of it all too.

The bonehead got an invitation today to a 4 day camp, paid through USA Triathlon, at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Pretty cool deal for him to be able to meet the coaches there and do some training in front of them.

I am sure he would get there either way but I bet it is nice to the ears to hear paid for by someone else.

Yeah dude.....we are starting to figure out why parents of kids who go to the Olympics end up filing bankruptcy when it's over. It costs quite a bit to keep them competing against the best.
Basically, you can duck hunt and have new trucks/gear, or you can have an aspiring Olympian.....but unless your pay grade is way above mine you can't have both.

That is some awesome dedication for you and the wife as parents. Congrats to you too for making it possible for him to compete at this level. Hope he goes all the way to the Olympics.
