Holy cow what a rush!!!!!!!!! That was an awesome experience. I was told that it goes by quickly; and while it didn’t seem like it during the run, overall my first ever sprint triathlon did go by fast! I finished in 270th place out of over 350 participants. I had a blast!

This was the first of four sprint triathlons in the 19th annual Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series led by Paul and Kathleen King. Great job guys! I know what it’s like to coordinate an event. We are gearing up for our 3rd Annual Fall Festival October 24, 2009. It is time consuming but well worth it!

The race was well managed. There were folks at each corner to tell us where to go. The traffic was minimal, especially on Folly Road. And I didn’t even mind getting past by a 64-year old. But I got him at the end of the bike!!!!!!!!! I met an awesome guy towards the end of the run that I had passed earlier on the bike that almost took me on the last leg of the run. He pushed me to kick it at the end. And so I did finishing the entire race in just under 90 minutes!

I completed the swim in less than 14 minutes and didn’t even get eaten by an alligator. Hey! I finished the 13-mile bike in just over 41 minutes, hit the transition area for just over one minute and slowly started the run. I enjoyed the slow pace of the run finishing the 3.1-mile loop in just over 31 minutes. This is where I hope to improve on the next race! But overall I was completely satisfied with 90 minutes for my first ever tri. Everyone was very nice and helpful and I was even able to make church on time!

I am looking forward to the next race for me on August 2. Click here to register for the next race in the series on July 12.

I want to say thank you to all of you who helped me reach this great goal. April you are an amazing wife! I was so happy to see you and the kids at the finish line! You made it a very special Father’s Day! Thanks to all of the folks that I have been training with. A big shout out to Nate who finished in less than 80 minutes! Also, an even bigger shout out to the guru Dave Jones who just completed Ironman Idaho on Sunday in just over 13 hours! What an amazing accomplishment! We are very proud of you Dave! Till next time. Be Blessed!

Hey guys! I am going for it! I am heading over to James Island this weekend for the first in a series of four sprint triathlons. This sprint series includes a .3 mile lake swim (in the doggie lake, nice), a 13 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. For more on this visit: http://www.charlestontriathlonclub.com/csts2009/fromthetent.html. This will be my first ever tri. I have competed in one marathon and two half marathons! I am looking forward to mixing things up! I have come across some wonderful new people during my training! Karen, you have thoroughly kicked my tail on the bike at spin class! Dave Jones has been wonderful to open the pool every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5 am for us to train! I probably should have taken advantage of that sooner! Only time will tell! And there have been many more new faces that have such a passion for this wonderful sport! The event starts at 7:15 am this Sunday and continues with races on July 12, August 2 and August 16. I’ll compete in the last two races in hopes of competing at the Kiawah Island Olympic triathlon in September (unless my wife has other ideas! lol).

Goose Creek – It was a fun-filled, educational day May 30 at the Goose Creek Recreational Center in Goose Creek where over 10 people attended an all day educational seminar. Family Services, Inc., along with Drew Sineath & Associates, a local Top 10 real estate firm specializing in residential real estate sales, conducted a HUD approved workshop entitled ”Credit Cents”. This workshop educates people how credit works and can be used to eventually purchase a home. The attendees were at all different levels of the home buying process. Some of the attendees were current home owners, while others were working with a lender to seek mortgage approval and still others were just getting started. 

Each attendee learned a great deal about their current credit status and how to create a monthly budget. This workshop followed an early homebuyer workshop also coordinated by Family Services and Drew Sineath & Associates held May 2 at the Goose Creek Recreation Center. The Homebuyer Workshop was attended by 29 people and helped educate each attendee on the home buying process: from getting preapproved for a mortgage and working with a real estate agent to getting a home inspection and termite inspection performed. 

Guest speakers at the first workshop included Drew Sineath of Drew Sineath & Associates, James Sineath of South Carolina Mortgage Company,  Rodney Whitehouse of Cardinal Home Inspectors and Linnea Davis of 2-10 Home Warranty among others. The workshop was the first HUD approved workshop of its kind in Goose Creek in quite sometime. Family Services often conducts the workshops at the Trident OneStop in Hanahan. 

“I don’t know of any other real estate agent that is doing something like this,” said Deborah Peralez, a resident of West Ashley. “This was a very educational workshop that helped me understand the home buying process. I am glad I came!”

“I have been getting a lot of misinformation from other people during the home buying process,” Chonte Thompson said. “This workshop helped me to get some of my questions answered correctly.”

Each attendee received HUD approved credit hours to go toward helping them receive potential grant money which could be used for a down payment on a home purchase. Not everyone in attendance was looking to qualify for grant money. Some attendees were interested in becoming more educated about their credit and how to create an effective budget. All in all the workshops received high praises!

This was the first homebuyer workshop that Drew Sineath & Associates has been associated with. This highly successful real estate agency with over 5 full-time real estate agents is looking to carve out a niche in the Charleston real estate market. The agency is gearing up for its 3rd annual Fall Festival on October 24, 2009 and had attended ealier trade shows at the Lowcountry Parent Camp & Education Fair, the Del Webb Community Business Fair and sponsored Metro North Church at the recent Relay For Life held at Stratford High School.
