I hear the following all of the time: "You have to be crazy to want to swim, and then bike, and then run." or "Who is stupid enough to do that?"
Well triathlons are a part of my life, and I hope that they always will be. I love them. They bring joy into my heart and soul - and they help me to explore the wonderful gift of my body! They help me to have a good self image, and remind me that deep down - I love being tough (even if it hurts a lot!)
Here's a pic of Lena being tough! (There's nothing tougher than Duct tape.)
So doing another relay was just another way for me to love doing this sport with my best buds. Lena and Em are such a part of my life - and a triathlon with them is just a blessing! Who cares if I don't actually get to swim in that triathlon! I got to go and watch them push themselves, and have a great day. 
It was also a blast to watch Jaren, Donny, and Russ - the three non-trainers that they are - still finish in good form! If Donny would ever train - I swear to you - he'd have to thank me someday in his sponsorships! 
Here are some classic pics from Spudman this year. Lena got my favorite pose from last year - and put her own spin on it. I like the purse!
You have to have a standby pose when you're wearing a wetsuit!
The money shot.
Our boys... gotta love em.
He sweeps me off my feet, and makes everything wonderful! Love you Jaren!

Fantastic!! Let's do that race until we're so old we can't walk!
Brenna - I sure miss you! Sorry I am FINALLY catching up on everyone's blogs. It seems like you are doing really well. I am so happy for you. I am trying to figure out how I can start training for another tri.... someday I want to do one with you. I think it will be easier to figure out once I'm back in Utah.
Our pool is out of commission now and will not be fixed for another year at least! Yikes... I was really enjoying swimming. It was fun training last year and REALLY learn how to swim, run, and bike in a more efficient way.
Anyway... someday I will be out there with you.
It was sooooo wonderful seeing you in Salt Lake. It really meant a lot to me that you came to Riddick's blessing. You are such a wonderful friend. I love you and miss you.
We'll be back in Salt Lake for the whole month of September. We'll have to go do something.
Love you!

You guys look like you have so much fun! Sorry you didn't get to swim. I thought about you, I know how much you love to swim. I really need you to get me back into shape this has been my lazy year and I don't have a hurt knee. Lets get together, let me know when you do another tri, I would love to go with you. Good luck tommorrow if you are still doing the Utah Half.
It was fun to play and do this as just the girls. I was bummed you didn't get to swim. Take care!
Where is your "Memories" post? I've been thinking of some good ones! Love you!
