Galax Banjo Shoot-out

Travis competed last weekend in a banjo competition in Galax, VA. 

Galax is a Bluegrass Mecca and Travis made off with 4th place in the competition playing his self-composed Virginia Boy Breakdown. 

Way to make 50 bucks Travis!

Another Triathlon - Smith Mountain Lake!

Yesterday Travis participated in his second triathlon, it was the Appalachian Power Triathlon at Smith Mountain Lake, at sprint distances. The water was 66 degrees and so a wet suit was a must. Addie didn't recognize her Dad in the black suit and ran away from him when he tried to pick her up on the beach, it was his "Spiderman suit". The race was solid with a finish time of 1 hour 34 min beating the previous triathlon by 8 and a half minutes. 5 of those 8 minutes were found in the swim and the rest in the bike. Mom and Dad and Kenny Hall came out to the race. It was a great experience and I can't wait to do another one...in a couple months.
