Lunatic Tri

A few weeks ago I raced in the Lunatic Triathlon in Price.  This was the first triathlon I have done and it totally ROCKED!!!  I have no idea why I've been wasting my sweet time on racing just running races when I could have been doing triathlons the whole time.  The race started at 10pm so it was completely pitch outside when it started.  I was decked from head to toe to wheel with glow sticks.  Bentley highly enjoyed that.  This was the first triathlon in Price so the course we pretty awesome Hahaha!  No really it wasn't that bad except trying to bike out in the boonies in pitch black doesn't work so well.  They did tell us though that the police had sent out reminders that everyone's dogs should be on a leash and the dog catcher was making a round before the race started.  Oh good, that makes me feel a lot better. 
Anyway, the race was great.  I loved the swimming part besides the facts that 1.  I jumped off my bike, ripped my shirt off (I had my swimsuit on underneath) and my shoes and went running across the street and up to the gate to the swimming pool, went to jump in and realized I forgot my goggles and swim cap at my transition station.  So I quickly ran back across the street and grabbed those.  2. I was literally swimming on top of people.  I couldn't pass because we were doing a serpentine swim so there were swimmers going both ways.  We got to swim through the finish line which was fun. The whole thing was a RIOT!!!  Even Brian and Bentley enjoyed it because I came in every half hour and they watched the whole swimming part. I'm totally doing another one this year.  I can't wait!!! 
Here's a few pics.  There's more on my fitness blog.

My wonderful mechanic!

This is how Bentley chose to pass the time.

At the finish line.  I know I look horrendous.  If you leave a comment don't say anything about this picture!!
