. . . and my son Christiaan did his first race. Started training about 3 weeks ago, no prior experience, still shaky and unsure on the bike, many training hours short for such a distance, and he did . . . ta-da . . . wait for it . . . 3 hours 55 minutes!!!

Well done my son. You will keep me in training because otherwise I will get my behind kicked by junior!!
