My Wife Rocks!

We have had a great morning! Jenny completed her first triathlon...a sprint race sponsored by the Evansville YMCA. She was a little apprehensive about the swim, but did a great job. She finished comfortably in just over 2 hours, and smiled the whole time. I think she is hooked! The boys and I were the official support crew and Team Howell photographers.

We saw several friends who all had a fantastic races today. Randy and Tom took it easy today with Ironman Louisville coming up next week. Allen and Michelle Walker trained all summer, and it showed! Bill Blanke finished his second triathon...his first was several years ago. I haven't seen Tom Dowd's time yet. This was his second Tri. And as expected, Alisha McDaniel won the overall women's division.

I can't wait until next weekend ;). Enjoy the pictures, Marshall

Summer Project

We are very excited at the Howell house about our summer construction project. With the goal of making our backyard a great place to hang out, we have torn down our deck and have started building a paver patio with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and my favorite, an Endless Pool to simulate open water swimming. Here are some pictures of our work in progress.

Only one more week until the Evansville YMCA Sprint Triathlon. Jenny and I have been gearing up for this race and for my Olympic distance race next weekend in Chicago. This will be my third time in Chicago. It is really a great race that is very well organized for its size. I look forward to posting some race info next week.



















I hope everyone is doing well, and am thankful for everyone's safety.
