Tired-athalon

Well I guess I will take a turn posting on our blog. Today was a Tri-athalon at the Sports Academy. Me and my apparently bull legged, mole infested, nintendo nerd wife decided we would participate. My sister Tami has been trying to get me to do one of these with her for a year or so now and I really wanted to but just never got around to it. This one was much shorter than the ones she does but we gotta start somewhere. Our race started with a 150 yard swim, then a 2.5 mile bike ride, then a 1.5 mile run. When we were ready to start I looked at the other participants in our age group and we were easily the oldest. I was a little embarrassed knowing I was about to get my butt kicked by a bunch of kids younger than me but I will get over it. The race went well exept for some serious drama associated with my sister and her three kids. I am sure she will tell the stories on her blog so go check out Tami and Brent from our friends list if you are interested. Mallory and I tied with a time somewhere around 41 minutes. We are going to be paying the price of the lack of training before hand. We both really thought it wouln't be as hard as it was. It was pretty fun to be apart of that and I hope that next year I can do one of the longer distances with the adults instead of the kiddy race. We'll see.
