Jeff along with 4 of our good friends from Celebration(Al, Rodger, Heather and Tim) competed in the Athletes for a Cure Triathalon benefiting the Prostate Cancer Foundation this Sunday Sept. 20, 2008. Jeff was running for all the loved ones we know who have had to battle cancer.
Jeff started training in early August for this event and really put a lot of effort into it the last few weeks of training. He competed in an olympic length Triathalon which was apparently a pretty big feat for a first timer (most people compete in a shorter distance tri their first time). The race consisted of a 1.5K swim in a lake, biking a 40K and a 10K run. Owen and Grant saw Jeff coming towards the end of the race and ran the last few yards with him across the finish line. It was a great moment! Jeff finished in 3 hours and 17 minutes and was feeling pretty good! His only comment was that his feet were killing him! Everyone had a great race and I think they all enjoyed training for this "together."
