"Austin's gone pro"...post copied from our family blog

After competing in his first triathlon last May, Austin decided to go "pro" and continue the sport, which meant the mountain bike wasn't going to suffice. He was going to need a road bike. After months of research, saving, and a special, belated Father's Day gift (you know who you are...thank you!), Austin finally decided on a bike and was able to order it online a few weeks ago.

Because it was such an expensive purchase and we would have to sign for it at delivery, the tracking was very detailed and Austin followed the travels of his precious cargo from Texas to Utah. Friday, August 7th, was the scheduled day of it's arrival. Austin, the kids and I were just hanging out when the doorbell rang. You would have though Santa had just come down the chimney...Aus and Tate ran to the door in udder excitement. Even the UPS guy was super pumped about the delivery and wanted to know all about his bike.

Tate could feel the excitement and was so into helping his Daddy unpack and assemble the bike. He kept saying, "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Now Austin can really fly when he does his next triathlons in September and in October. Congratulations, Austin! You've earned this bike in every sense of the word!
