iTri

The swim transition phase
sitting on the beach waiting for athletes to get in water!
Kiak that paddle along side of swimmers 
Dad's finish! Top 5 in age group just under 12hrs.

The Ironman tri was sooo inspiring! Dad finished top 5 in his age  group and came smoking out of the water. I knew he would swim it in his best time and come out of the water in 1hr 30min, so I started to look at everyones face as they got out. Well about 1hr. 35min. We saw him, screamed our lungs out, and cheered and took pictures.. Then he took off his swim cap and was BALD! That wasnt DAD..... but he must have past us during the wild chanting for some odd man, because that was his time too!  Oh well as we look back on the pictures we'll have to pretend that was him lol!

Dustin has his FIRST bike race in Bear Lake Ut. in May! We are soo excited to go and experience this for ourselves now! I can't wait to cheer him on and watch my husband push himself to finish. We didn't know each other during high school or collage sports and competitions, so this will be fun for me to cheer him on with his Daughter! 

Also the end of May is my first Tri! I can't wait to get out there and see what I am made of as well. I can only do my  best! My sister made a joke at Ironman, but Im sure it's true.... she said, " don't you think that God is looking down and smiling at these ironmen, and thinking THAT is EXACTLY what I made your bodies for!" It was nice to see, there were no smoking crowds or beer tents, just clean, rock hard bodies!! I loved it so much I am taking part! So watch out Ironman 2011, Ill be ready!
