Buffalo Triathlon

On Sunday we went to Curt's Triathlon in Buffalo, I am sure if you read his or Christine's blog you know the outcome of this. Everything started out great until he did the run and he realized he didn't have nearly enough electrolytes in him (not good). He got really dehydrated and rolled to a 3rd place finish and scared all of us. I seriously mean, he rolled to a finish. One of the craziest finishes I have ever seen. I have to say it was not easy to watch someone who was that dehydrated, we were all pretty scared. After not being able to get enough fluids, the medical team decided to give him an i.v. and transport him by ambulance to the Buffalo Hospital where we all met up with him and it was a totally different scene. Curt said the i.v. started working instantly. He was ready for some food, so we went to Perkins and relaxed the rest of the day. We are so glad you are okay Curt, we were all glad we were there with him on Sunday. Here are some of the pictures we captured earlier before all of the caos.

It was great having you guys there for me. Excellent pictures too. In a couple weeks I might be ready to check out dad's finish line pictures.
