You Go Girl!

It's no secret that our oldest is an athlete.  Her latest competition was a women's only triathlon.

They began with a 250-yd swim, a strong event for her.  Out of 133 participants, she was 6th in her swim time.

Next was a 10-mile bike ride, and her weakest event.  She was 13th place for the bike, which was also a personal best time since much of the course was uphill.  Whenever endurance is involved, she dominates.

And finally, the 2.5 mile run.  She came in 2nd for this event with a time of 17:58.

Overall, she came in 4th place, but was1st in her age group.  A tremendous accomplishment!  Next year we'll have to work on her transitions since that's what kept her from the top 3 spots.  Looks like we'll have a tri-suit, sockless shoes, and pull string laces for her gift requests this fall & Christmas.
