Triathlon; oops I mean Aquathlon!!

Earlier this year, M decided she needed she start training for an event or risk getting bored in her workouts.  She mentioned this to a few co-workers who also were looking for something to do.  So in mid-may M signed up for a sprint triathlon.  The night before the event, an email was sent out that due to unforseen circumstances (i.e. bankruptcy of the signage company) there would be no bike portion.  The event proceeded as a Aquathlon--swim and run event.  She got a credit for the bike portion, so M has another sprint triathlon in August.
M's friends also doing the race.

Since it was mid-May and average water temp at that time of year is 63 degrees, it was a wetsuit event.  However, due to unseasonably warm temperatures and low water the day of the event the water was actually 70.  But M was very glad to have the wetsuit!


The only picture D got of M was coming out of the water.

After the event--C had to jump in the picture with M and her preschool teacher Miss K.
C and I spent more of the 50 minutes it took M to race playing on the playground and in the volleyball pit.
