Buffalo Triathlon

On Sunday morning, Will and Jack put on their orange shirts (for visibility) and packed up their bikes, swim goggles and running shoes to head on over to sturgis park for the Buffalo Triathlon. It was amazing to watch how competitive they have become! The day was really cold (49) and misty with the threat of rain, but that did not hinder the Elliott boys! The race consists of a 1/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run right here in Buffalo. Here is Jack getting "tatooed" with his number. Will gets marked

A little joke before the swim. The boys were in the 10th wave and there were 25 total waves with 1500 competitors!
And they are off! Brrr...that water was cold!


Jack was the first one out of the water!

Followed closely by Will!Here is the transition area, can you see the two orange shirts? All three events start and end in the transition area!Jack made a quick change into his bike gear and is all smiles!

Will on the bike!

They finished the 12 miles on the bike together!
