For our relay yesterday! It was a lake swim in a lake that was overrun with (I can't remember the plant name) lake weeds. Seriously overrun. I had to stop at one point to unwrap it from my leg. I was afraid it was going to take off my timing chip. It was that thick. Oh and this was a first, the lifeguards were right in the middle of the course. Ran into one and panicked because I thought I was off course since the guards are usually on the outer edges of the course. But I kept on and was first out by about 40 seconds for a 600 yd swim!

Our bike leg ROCKED!!! she held a 26.5 mph pace for the 12 miles!!!! Our runner was injured and got passed But we were an all female team that got beat by the all male team by only one minute!

I hadn't done a relay before and these ladies were nice enough to do one with me so I could race despite my foot. It was a lot of fun!!

One is with shama, one with Out Rival. Is your husband still pulling hydrilla out of creases and crevices?!?!

haha! he biked like half the course with a big old piece out of his bike shoe!

There was a relay team called Sugar Cycles. Cuuuuuute pink & black outfits.

If you ever see a mama chasing after two crazy little girls at a tri, come say hi! We had a blanket set up in the grass next to the bridge that lead to the gazebo on the little island
