Rogers B-Day Bag Party/2.4 Swim

Last Sunday Ricky decided to participate in a 2.4 mile swim for preparation for the Ironman this Sunday. We screen-printed the shirts for the event so Ricky was able to get in free. He thought it might be a good idea to participate because he has only swam 2 times since the half ironman last October. The reason he has only swam two times is because of his limited time. He thought that if he focused more on the bike and run because that is majority of the race then he would probably be okay. Ricky is a pretty good swimmer so he knew he would finish the swim just not as fast as he would have liked if he had more time to practice. His goal time was 1 hr and 15 min and he came in at 1 hr and 10 min. so he felt that his decision was a good one. he now feels "okay" for the swim this Sunday. Ricky is way nervous for Sunday because if you havent heard it is supposed to be 96 degrees. YIKES. who does an ironman in that kind of heat??? I hope everyone is okay. That is a killer. When Ricky did the half ironman it was abnormally a hot day. cross your fingers a cold front moves in from nowhere.

Also last Sunday after the second session of conference, we went to Falcon Field for a Birthday Bag party for Rickys dads side of the family. It is always fun to see everyone. Everyone under the age of 21 gets a birthday bag. your bag is full of all kinds of goodies that people have brought to put in the bags. my kids love it. Ricky went up in one of his uncles airplanes too. that was really random but he said it was way cool. he loved it.
