I participated in a Sprint Triathlon on August 8, 2009 (Dallin's 1st birthday). It consisted of a 500M swim, 20Kbike, 5K run. It was about 53 degrees when it all began. I had gone only wearing the clothes I was competing in and I was freezing. This AZ girl has trouble with the cold. Anyway, mom and dad came up to the start and brought me some sweats to wear before I started. Thanks! Once they came off though I was nervous and still cold, Dad was rubbing my arms and mom was trying to warm my hands in hers. It was so crazy though as soon as I had to get in the water I was much warmer. My goal was to do it all in under 2 hours....and I did it, in spite of having to fix a low tire while on the bike part of it, and turning around during the bike part because I forgot my bib for the run. (Luckily mom and dad were still at the top and I had my cell phone. - I think I was the only competitor on my cell as I began the bike. :) I got a hold of them and they brought it down to the run start for me. It was a blast, I loved it all and will definitely do it again next year- but I will do it with a road bike instead of a mountain bike. My friend Lynn did it with me and she was so great to have there as well! So fun- so hard - so cold. I was glad for the cold when it came time to run though....whew!
So my times were this: (total with transitions was 1 hour 46 minutes)
Swim: 16:14
Bike: 56:01
Run: 29:13

Ps- my dad is doing EXCELLENT. Hardly any scarring. He is 100% back to work. We are so thankful. My brother Chris was in Cali when the accident happened. He flew home Sunday night to see my dad and guess who he happened to sit by on his return flight? Travis parents! Kind of funny :) He said it was cool to catch up about Gilbert back in the day the whole flight home.
