Event comments:

I had fun cheering on my son and placed second in my age group on what I count as a training day. The race was fun and different in that you swam twice, biked twice and ran twice with 4 transitions. I think I will do it again next year and add some speed!

A few photos of my step-daughter finishing her first tri that day, my son Trey crossing the finish line, and me in my ESCKTC suit getting ready to eat again after finishing!
