Triathlon Time

David competed in two triathlons this year.  He did a sprint Triathlon in Bountiful and then did an Olympic Triathlon at Bear Lake.  He worked really hard and did a great job!

Bountiful Triathlon

 Julie, David, Michael, Krystle, and Mike all did the Bountiful Tri this year.  It was fun to have so many people to watch and cheer for.  It is becoming quite the family event and tradition, and we are looking forward to more doing it next year, including me:)

The Run: 5K 

(David and Michael had a lot of energy despite only getting a few hours of sleep the night before, because they stayed up talking all night long:) I think they payed for it later on in the race though.  H/H!

 The Bike: 11 miles

 Off to the Swim: 350 yds.

Julie and Mike both placed in their age divisions.  Way to go!!  David and Michael vowed to take the next race much more seriously and to get some sleep!



Bear Lake Brawl

This was a much bigger race and David's first open water swim.  He and Michael did this one together and both did really well!  They both reached their goal times and had a great time.

 The Swim: 1500 meters

 The Bike: 24.8 Miles

 The Run: 10K

David was really pleased with how he did.  He got his goal time of 3 hours by just 2 seconds!  Now he is already talking about doing a Half Ironman next year.  He really enjoys the training for these events and works really hard.  I am proud of him.

 The Cheer Squad

Bear Lake was a really fun place to watch the event, because we got to see David a lot during the race and while he was out on his bike ride, the kids got to play on the beach and in the lake.  They were in heaven!

 We also got to make a trip out of the event, which was a lot of fun.  We stayed the weekend in a condo in Garden City with Michael and Lacy and Julie.

We went to the famous Pickleville Playhouse and watched a play called "Who Killed Juanito Bandito?"  It was pretty funny.  We also got fresh Bear Lake Raspberry Shakes and just enjoyed relaxing together.

 Bear Lake was gorgeous and the weather was just perfect.  I think we may be coming back!
