My long-lost blog! I have a hard time wanting to be online much when it's so wonderful outside...
We had quite a full summer here- traveling, backpacking, hiking, and triathlons! Jake and I each did a triathlon (his second, my first). Jake did the
Xterra Indian Peaks tri for the second time and I did the
Iron Girl in Boulder. I am definitely more partial to running races, but I enjoyed the challenge!
 |
| Pre-race! We were numbered from oldest to youngest, so I was in the last wave of girls to get in the water. |
 |
| A beautiful morning for a brisk swim in the Boulder Res! |
 |
| I think I'm in there somewhere... |
 |
| A major downfall for me was my mountain bike. It was a road bike course, so I definitely lacked the speed that most everyone else had. :( |
 |
| Running in to the finish! I had some great friends and family there to cheer me in. Thanks, guys! |
 |
| Even though I was probably pretty gross by this time, I definitely poured water over my head right before this picture! |
 |
| Jake's tri up by Nederland at the Eldora Ski Resort. |
 |
| Cheering him on! |
 |
| His swim was MUCH colder than mine.... and much further. |
 |
| It was gorgeous, but that water sure was chilly! Good thing for wet suits. |
 |
| Out of the water and onto the bike portion... |
 |
| This picture makes me smile. :) |
 |
| Up, up and away! Jake is the guy in lime green closest to the gondola pole. |
 |
| I had to take a picture of this cute little scene of a dad and his son, who was his total mini-me. |
And, unfortunately, my camera died after this. I used my mom's (the fam was there to cheer Jake on, too), but I don't have those pictures. I can attest that Jake had a stellar finish and ran like a champ. :) Good job, Jake!
