We competed in the Toyota Challenge Triathlon today! Gena and Diana finished the sprint distance (0.6 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3.1 mile run) and Matthew finished the half triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run).
Gena 2 hrs 4 minDiana 2 hrs 8 min
Matthew 6 hrs 1 min
Here we are before the start. We were all dreading getting into the lake! It was a very difficult swim because the water was very choppy.
Here is Diana just after she finished the swim. She is running up the hill to the transition area where she will put on her shoes and jump on the bike.
After Diana and I finished, we took the kids to the play area since we knew it would be a few hours before Matthew was done. Alexa and Gavin enjoyed the swings. Alexa was excited about the balloon until she sat on it and popped it!
Diana and I were pretty tired after the triathlon. We tried to nap on our blankets.
Here's Christina and Diana (and the kids in the stroller) waiting to spot Matthew coming down the home stretch.
The kids took a nice long nap.
Here's Matthew after the swim.
Crossing the finish line! Way to go, Matthew! We are so proud of you! You did awesome!

Way to go everyone! Did I hear them say that Matt was the first place finisher?
No, they said he was finishing his first half ironman race. He did great! His goal was 6 hours and he finished in 6 hrs, 1 min so I'd say that's close enough!!!
