The Triathlon


What an awesome day! We had all worked so hard for this, set goals and accomplished things we never thought possible. I remember the first time I got in a pool to train - Blake was 5 weeks old and after 1 lap I was completely out of breath. I got out of the pool and said to Steve - yea right! 36 laps? Then bike, then run 3 miles? I don't think so. But ever so slowly we all worked our way up to being ready for the big day. It was a blast. We cheered each other on, set personal records and had an awesome support team. Let's do it again!

This time the open water swim was nothing but amazing!
It helped that the water was
much warmer in August than in June.

Crossing the finish line - I'm addicted :)

"Beach" time after cheering Mom on.
