Terron will be doing his first triathlon on Sept. 26th, the day after his 11th birthday, 3 weeks to the day of his daddy passing away.
He questioned even doing the event the other day, which broke my heart.
I told him to do it and make his dad proud just like he always does, cuz he'll still be watching. Bought a plain white t-shirt, paint tubes, the iron-on paper and found a good pic of the two of them. With his help after school today, his race shirt is ready, and he can't wait to wear it!
Now that that's done, it's time for me to get my stuff ready for my Sprint Tri in the morning!
