The Cache Valley Triathlon

Russ and I ran The Cache Valley Super Sprint Triathlon in July. It is always fun to run these with each other because then we have a "training partner" to work with. Rob and Rachel were there along with five others from our ward. It sure makes the race fun to have people you know racing with you. This one was on a little bit smaller scale...there were only about 150 participates and it was a pool swim...which I really enjoy. The lake swims are more challenging, but you can see where you are going in the pool! I told Zeth that he needs to train for this one next year. I was a little bit worried about him on the swim, but up at Scout Camp he swam 3/4 of a mile in a lake...so he will be joining us next year for sure! It is fun to have a reason to exercise and to work towards a goal. We are done for the year, but we will be ready for next year!

Congrats on another accomplished triathlon! Russ' outfit is HOT! Can Spencer borrow it?!

NO, Spencer can't borrow it, I got it for free, and can't let anybody else touch it.

Great job! Kevan usually does that Tri - but it was full when he went to register. He was really bummed. Maybe he'll see you there next year.

Ok you two put us to shame! What a great way to spend quality time together...at least until the competitive side kicks in right:) It has been fun to see all the events you have been in over the last several months...makes us want to step it up a bit! Marc was supposed to do a triathlon in October...hum not sure that is going to happen. He may need some "encouragement" from you all!! Keep up the good work.
