Black 64 & 65

An extremely small town about 5 mile from us holds a Triathlon every year. This year Ashley and I decided to participate in the Beer Belly class. The Triathlon consisted of three different races-the jock class (50-yard swim, 12-mile bike, and 5-mile run), the beer belly (50-yard swim, 5-mile bike, 2-mile run) and the16 & under (same as beer belly). This was the 23rd Annual Triathlon. There was 206 total participants. Ashley finished in 41:41; I finished 50:41. We are definately doing this again, however next year we will train first. Oh, one more thing...we even did the race with injuries! I cut my thumb and Ashley flew over the handle bars of Mason bike while test driving the night before landing on her elbow. That is what we are showing the the picture!


Aren't we tough!

Way to go you guys....I'm so happy that you did it...was it worth it? Obviously if you're doing it again. Jill told me the story about Ash flying over the handle bars and I laughed so hard, I would have paid to see it.
