Deer Creek

Alexa competed in her first duathlon on Saturday at Deer Creek. She really wanted to do the triathlon, but we need to improve her swim a little bit before she's ready for open water. The kids (10 years and under) duathlon distances were: run 1/4 mile, bike 3.1 miles, run 1/2 mile.

Love her tri suit!

She really wanted to swim. Hopefully she will work hard in the pool so she can do a triathlon this summer. 

I don't have pictures of her finish because I was video taping it. Here she had just finished and was cheering for her friend that was just starting her run.

Alexa went to check her results and found out that she placed 2nd in her age group!

On Sunday, Matt and I both competed in the Olympic distance triathlon. 

This is me on the run course with about a half mile to go. It was a hot day. I was ready to be done. 

Sorry, no pictures of Matt because he finished way before me. He did place 4th in his age group. Nice job!
