(you know it's crazy when I hear that, because even though we may not be the fastest triathletes out there -ok, we are definitely not the fastest triathletes out there- I can't believe that we can keep our bodies in motion, and at that intensity, for almost 2 hours! I never would've thought that was possible a couple months ago! that just goes to show that anyone can do this! so who's training with us for next year??!)

don't you hate it when you think you're taking a nice picture and then you find out later that the other person was making a face?! Ha ha. anyway, this is my wonderful hubby loosening up my shoulders before the race.

our sexy alien look

having WAY too much fun! obviously blissfully unaware of what was to come on the bike

it took almost forever to get my left foot clicked into my pedal

almost to the end of the bike ride. don't be fooled, I felt even worse than i looked!

almost to the finish line

just a little further

almost....

whew! made it!!!

It was a lot of fun to have our family there to cheer us on!! (Thank you to everyone who came!!) Here are some pics of our cheerleading section!



i told you it was windy! poor little brody was blown to bits!




as i ran by harrison he handed me a "pumpkin" he found for me (it was actually a nut from a tree) I thought it was so sweet and cute so I ran with it in pocket the rest of the race!




julie was sneaky and tried not to get in any pictures, but here is her arm. at least we have proof that she was there!
