At the end of October 2012, our family did a mini triathlon (inspired by my dad and Garrett). Once they got a few family members on board, you really can't be the only wimpy one not to do it...so everyone signed up.
The mini triathlon included a 750m swim, 12 mile bike ride (up hill the whole time), and a 3 mile run...or walk.
Once everyone agreed to this event, then the trash talk and bets started taking place. Training times were bragged about. Pictures of intimidation passed around...
Then the weekend of the triathlon came and we all headed to Vegas (thanks Mom and Marlene for watching kids!) and got our game faces on...
The morning of...chilly and early
Here are the pictures to prove all our hard work... We trickled into the finish line in this order: Garrett, Wes, Maegan, Bryan, Kristen, Carlie/Kade, & Dad
**Let it be known that Bryan got a late start because he was waiting in a LONG line for the bathroom when we all took off swimming, so we all know he would have got 1st.
**Let it also be known I was pregnant at the time (and wasn't telling anyone yet), so I was exhausted before it started and Kade stayed with me because he was scared I was going to pass out.
**Also Garrett was shirtless...and nobody knows why.
WE DID IT!
...and then we ate pizza
...and then showed off our huge calves with our triathlon # on it
...and then took nice family pictures
...I do not know why we do the things we do...
