Triathlon

On Saturday my mom and sister Sarah did the Jordenelle Triathlon.  I so wish that I were in good enough shape to have done this with them.  I had so much fun cheering them on, though.  They both did amazing. 

My mom runs all the time.  And she has been riding her bike like a mad woman lately, but she was beyond terrified for the swim.  The weekend before the triathlon, her and Sarah went up to Jordenelle to practice swimming the course.  She may or may not have had a panic attack...and cried.  BUT.  It didn't stop her.  She ended up doing great on the swim during the triathlon.  She was the most worried about being the last swimmer out of the water.  She wasn't last by a long shot.  I was so proud of her!

Sarah, on the other hand, didn't train at all.  Well, besides the swim the weekend before she did with my mom.  But of course, she rocked it.  Story of my life.  This girl doesn't try at all and is the best athlete I know.  She ended up beating my mom by about 7 minutes, and won her age group. 

Park, Baby Park, Gary, and I all had a blast watching them kick butt.  I can't wait to do it with them next year...that is if I'm not pregnant...

All ready to go

And they're off!
