Triathlon

I'm back, and not a moment too soon! We had a great time in Utah and Idaho, but as always we are glad to be back. I'll catch up on the vacation blogging later.

I know you are all dying for details... so without further ado I give you:
The Righteous Richland 2007 Triathlon.
The shore start.
Just keep swimming!! (Don't bother looking for me in this picture, I'm pretty sure I'm much further behind.)
Where am I and what am I doing??
Now it is time to pedal.
The FINISH Line!!!
I had such a fun time (except for the transition to running where I thought I might not be able to take another step)!! In all honesty Randi I just keep thinking about you running your marathon - you were my motivation to keep going!
I'm so glad that I followed through on this goal- it was such a great feeling to cross the finish line! Thanks for all your encouraging words! Thanks Karen for getting up early to swim.
Thanks Jeremy for rearranging life so I could spend the time I needed getting ready and for being the supportive husband I needed!

I am so proud of you! Now, at the end of my marathon I'll be trying to decide whether or not to quit (like usual) and I'll have to think of YOU powering through your "wall".
Great job, girl!

That is so awesome! Isn't that the coolest feeling to cross the finish line after doing something BIG with athletics? I _love!_ that feeling. When I finished the Park City, UT marathon, it was one of the most incredible feelings/experiences of my life.
