We did our first triathlon today down in Provo. It was alot of fun, but some parts were definitely harder than others. I would have to say that we aren't the best swimmers in the world and the group start was not as fun as I had hoped for. Being in that much open water was a little worrisome as it was, then with the start having people on all four sides of you hitting and kicking you, made it a little scarier. After the a hundred yards or so when everyone spread out a little, my breathing calmed down and it was enjoyable the rest of the way. It was a half mile swim, 13 mile bike ride, and 3.2 mile run. The overall standings went me, Erin, Cody, then my dad finishing strong in the back of the pack. But Erin won the swim and my dad was 3rd all the way until the run when Cody caught and passed him. Overall I thought it was alot of fun going out and doing that. It was a fun day and we followed it up by going to Nephi for brunch and to celebrate an early fathers day.
The wetsuits and swim caps were definitely not flattering, but they worked nice.
That sounds like so much fun (minus the hitting and kicking in the water)!
