Provo Tri

Well, I did another sprint triathlon this past Saturday, and it was really fun! Nate was able to come to this one, and my lovely friend Jess came to support me as well. Thanks Jess! You're such a great friend! Anyway, Nate decided to take some snapshots of my race, and I posted every picture he took because I think they are hilarious! I'm no photographer, but I at least know how to zoom. So, I would like to play a little game called "spot the triathlete." See if you can find me in each of these pictures...ready, go!

Transition!

Too Fast!

This is a good one...

There I am!

Finish!

In all seriousness though, I love that Nate is interested in what I do and that he tries his best to come and support me, or at the very least take care of the kiddos while I'm gone!

RACE REPORT

The course here was pretty boring, but it was a smaller triathlon, so I was actually kind of competitive this go around. They did all of the timing by hand here, so I'm not going to post my times because they were way off. Also, we were supposed to do two loops on both the bike and the run, and the girl that finished a spot in front of me only did ONE loop on the run, so I am going to say I beat her because if she can cut the run short I can cut her out of the lineup, so THERE!

Anyway here's the info. that I DO know:

--I was the third woman out of the water. This was really exciting to me because I did feel like I had a pretty good swim and I saw a lot more men around me than women.

--I finished 4th overall out of 25 (the website says 5th, but really it was fourth!)

--Two girls passed me on the bike and I caught the fourth place girl right at the beginning of the run! Woot!

--As usual, I need to get better at biking, ha!

It was a super fun race, and I decided to step it up a notch a do an Olympic triathlon in July!
