2010 Triathlon Season

The 2010 Triathlon season started with a bang for Michael. He got to enjoy wonderful weather, a faster than anticipated time resulting in 4th in his age group half of Team Whetstone cheering for him and Mary Beth joining in for her first triathlon.
After getting the packets, Michael and Jackie walk with Maizeigh (Team Whetstone member #16) back to the car

(the last man to finish the race, won first in his age group, 80 and above - Michael expressed desires to still be doing triathlons when he's 80)

While visiting Parris Island, Michael was able to show Jackson and Maizeigh some jets.
