Last weekend we went to California to try out our first experience in a triathlon. It was at Huntington Lake in central Cali, just northeast of Fresno. It was so beautiful and breathtaking, literally, being at 7000 feet in the High Sierra Mountains. Neil did the full sprint triathlon on his own. Brandon joined Troy and Chad in a relay; Chad swimming 1/2 mile, Brandon biking 15 miles, and Troy running 3 miles to finish. It was so exciting and such a rush even being a spectator. You could feel the energy and excitement from all the participants. The race went really well for them. They finished in an hour and forty three minutes, taking 3rd place out of all the relay teams. Way to go! Neil did it all in an hour and fifty eight minutes, very impressive for his first sprint triathlon!
We both want to train to do a sprint or an olympic triathlon next summer, if we can wait that long. It was so fun, we already want to do it again!
