So I swam, biked and ran my first sprint triathlon two weeks ago and it was so much fun that I am going to do it again...in June! I am going to train a little harder and see if I can't improve my time. We started out swimming 600 meters in wet suits at Lake Las Vegas. Swimming is not my strength, but it was over quickly. Then we biked 12.6 miles and finished running 3.1 miles. I've always loved running but I have developed a new love for biking. I just rode an old mountain bike we had lying around for the race, but I have my eye on an inexpensive road bike and am considering getting it! Triathlon's are addicting. Crossing the finish line was such a good feeling. I'll tell you how the next one goes!! 
The day before the race...at registration!!
Me and my sister Natalie setting up our bikes the day before the race. My brother Nate is lugging around Natalie's baby, he was such a trooper. He gets the best husband/brother award for running around the course on race day taking tons of pictures (he got a picture of each of us at every stage of the race), helping us get set up for the race, fixing our bikes, packing around all of our stuff while we raced, studying for school in the waiting room while we got massages after the race and I could go on. Sarah what can I say you pretty much have the best husband a girl could ask for, can't do any better than Nate! Love you Nate! 
Before the race in our wet suits!
After the race...showing off our muscles and numbers

Wow way to go!! How long did you train for to do the triathalon, and how hard was it. I would love to do something like that but I don't know if I could cut it!
My mom told me about this...I may have to tri it. I have been wanting to do a tri, but the swimming scared me! I just did the Wasatch Back Relay from Logan to Park city and it was AWESOME...a race on my agenda every year now!
