A few Saturdays ago, Zach was participating in a sprint triathlon. He went to check in on Friday evening and when he saw the course decided that I would love it and should participate. Since I was going anyway (for support) I let myself be convinced. We had a great time. I didn't get any pics of Zach since he is waaay faster than me but he was nice enough to take some of me. It was a short tri, 300 meter swim, 8 mile bike and 2 mile run. Zach's goal was to finish in 45 minutes and mine was to finish in around 1 hour. We both did great; Zach finished in 47 minutes and I finished in 1hour and 1 second which was the top 20! For me that is awesome!

Here's Zach and I before the race.
Me on the bike! My bike's name is Lightening because it's so fast.
Me at the end of the run. I ran it in 9:15 per mile. For me, that's super fast!
Both of us at the end.
It really was a great triathlon. Anyone who really wants to do one but is a little nervous, it's perfect! There's only 150 people and it's shorter than a normal sprint tri. It's very chill and the location is great, right through a beautiful neighborhood. I would highly recommend it!

Way to go! That is an awesome time!!!
Great job!!! You should be called Lightening because 9:15/mile is grounds for a speeding ticket if you ask me! That sounds like a really fun impromptu thing to do. Sadly, the only spontaneous thing I ever do anymore is fall asleep while reading Berenstain Bears. And so it goes.....
Way to go!! I think it's so cool that you both did a tri together. :) And top 20?! Wohooo!
Way to go Zach and Shannon, you guys are amazing!
I'm completely jealous - it sounds SO fun! Awesome times, you both rock!!
