Logan Utah Trip

This past wkend we took a road trip to Logan, UT to watch my mom run a marathon. We stayed with our great friends in Kaysville on friday nite and our kids had a blast playing with their friends that they miss so much. Joe and I enjoyed talking to Jard and Allison and catching up on life. On Sat we drove to Logan and cheered on my mom. Kenny asked if "racing" was a family tradition. I thought that was a great question. It totally is! The goal is to eventually have me, Tereas, Lety, Julie and Mom run a marathon together. I can't wait to do it!! We had lunch with Mom and Eric and drove around Logan and then had dinner with them as well. The kids loved seeing their grandparents.

Rush TRI

So my friend Kiera asked me if I wanted to do a triathalon. I was a bit hesitant at first because I recently had Brook, was carrying 30 extra pounds, totally out of shape, and I had no bike. Regardless of these obstacles I agreed and signed up. I found a bike on craigslist and it fit me perfectly. I found a training schedule online and got to work. I worked out 5 days a week in the mornings. I had my 1st bike accident a few weeks in which resulted in 8 stiches to my chin and some yucky road rash on the right side of my body. Once healed from that I was back to grind. The training was really fun!! By race day I had lost the 30 lbs and felt great! I had 10 weeks to train. The race went ok, I thought for sure my best event would be swimming, but it's very different in a open water swim than in a pool in your own lane. The bike by far was my best event thanks to the group of guys who bike in my area!! I joined them for a handful a bike rides. The run could of been better but I was not prepared for uphill and offroad!! It was wonderful to have Joe and the kids there to cheer me on. I look forward to next year and the Half Ironman with Lety and about 4 to 5 other races I want to do!!!
