Tony and Alex before the race.
The water was cold.
Tony getting his cycle on.
Road runner.
Alex's friend raced with her. If you have ever met a teenage girl you know they do things in pairs and groups, not alone.
They are dorks.
I think Alex only got on her bike twice before the race. Despite the lack of training she was awesome!
Alex came in 3rd in the girls division! She rocks! Tony ran with her and to keep her motivated. He told her we would buy her some 80's inspired sunglasses she had been eyeing if she didn't let another girl pass her. The bribe worked!
I finished 3rd in the women's duathlon! I will be honest, there wasn't much competition but 3rd place is 3rd place right? I do have pictures of myself however I am wearing no make up, am sweaty, and donning form fitting exercise apparel. After an internal battle vanity won. I will not be posting pictures of myself, but believe me I was there and I raced. I finished the whole thing. I have several eye witnesses that can vouch for me, promise!
The next weekend Tony participated in the MS 150. (Again... the unbelievable dedication of this man...) I don't have a pic of him cycling but I do have this pic of him attempting to be a gangster. He has an Olympic distance triathlon planned in August and September along with a relay run. Good luck keeping up with my bad ass husband. I know I can't.

I'm so proud of all of you! Way to go you guys! WOOT!!!
I ran into Katie at Dillards a few months a go and she told me you had completed a duatholon. I am so impressed! One of my goals in this life is to actually run a marathon...it's still on my list of things to accomplish and won't happen anytime while being pregnant:) But I will say you have inspired me to know I can do it!
Come on! Put the vanity aside and post the pictures! I'm so proud of you and your family way to go! Too bad you don't live closer and could rub off a little of that inspiration on me!
I soooo want to see the pics of you at the challenge!!! You always look way too pretty to be real-so there is no need to be shy.
P.S. If you could let me have a schedule of upcoming events that you are all going to participate in-that might be good training for me to attempt to train to kick Tony's butt.
*next year or so! ha ha!*
Post Post Script.
Love Katrina
