Willard Bay Triathlon

Yesterday was the first triathlon of the year! Me and my sister, Rhonda compete in triathlons to try and stay in shape. It's a fun little hobby and it helps having someone else do them with you because it's a great motivator! It was our first time doing the Willard Bay Triathlon and it was a blast! The weather turned out awesome! It was neither too hot, nor too cold. The too cold part came when they told us how cold the water was - 51 degrees. Yes, that wasn't a typo - 51 degrees! I've been working hard to improve my swim, but yesterday my mind wasn't in it enough to overcome the effects of the cold water. I still got an okay time, but I can blame the slowness on the cold :)

Getting used to (or trying to get used to) the water...
The start...

My nephew L...
The swim is finally over!
Rhonda beat me on the swim and I caught up to her on the bike - we came in at the same time!

The run out - check out the guy in the blue on the left hand side of the photo. Is his reaction one of, "Go get 'em!" or one of, "Get outta my way!" ? What do you think? Ha ha ha!
Rhonda's naturally a faster runner so she finished first...
I loved having my nieces and nephew there to cheer me on!

They even ran with me 'til the end! L is in the grass and you can barely see C right by me...
The finish!


My #1 supporter!

I sure do love him and am so grateful he supports me at every triathlon!

Both Rhonda and I got first place in our age groups! Woo hoo!

It was a great start to a great triathlon season! Yeah!
