Arthur's Quadrathlon!!

So for the past couple of months Arthur (my brother-in-law) has been training for his first quadrathlon, which he completed yesterday.  It consisted of one way 13 miles bike ride, 5 miles run, 2 miles cross country skiing, and 1 mile snow shoe up to the top of Mt. Taylor.  Then you go back down (same distance, same events but in reverse).  The weather to be honest was crap, super windy, rainy and rather cold.  Winnie the Pooh would have called it a rather "blustery day".  So with that said the kids all did a surprisingly good job of waiting for Uncle Arthur/Dad to cross the finish line.... please see Sharee's blog for video and better pictures of race.  Just wanted to say way-to-go Arthur for not giving up and finishing your first quadrathlon despite the crummy weather!!
