We competed in our very first triathlon this last weekend. It was the Issaquah Triathlon. This is a Sprint-distance tri consisting of: a 1/4 mile swim in Lake Sammamish, 15-mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. For those of you new to what a tri is, everything is timed, including how quickly you can change from your wetsuit into your biking clothes, and so on. Although we competed within our own age group, we decided to do the "Friends and Family" wave, meaning we started the race together. We had a FABULOUS time, and we must admit, we are little addicted and have been looking to do more this summer. Jen is hoping to take part in the Danskin, an all-women triathlon, this August. These photos were taken by our good pro-photo friend, Kyle Miller. (The first one is our impression of wetsuit superheros.)
