SOMEHOW... my brother-in-law Ryan convinced the family to take a weekend trip to Palm Springs to participate in a triathlon. Ryan did the hard-core race (1 mile swim, 24 mile bike, 6 mile run) while the rest of us did a "mini" triathlon (100 meter swim, 3 mile bike, 1 mile run) . We were total amateurs jumping into 55 degree water without wetsuits, riding a beach cruiser (Adam), and huffing & puffing to the finish line. Not only did we all manage to survive, I think most of us would actually do it again!
The Triathletes: Adam, Nora, David, Emily, Kenna, Jen, Ryan
Some very SERIOUS competitors!
Hunk-a-chunk-a-burnin' LOVE!

haha that's awesome! good job, guys! I'm totally guessing that Emily was the one that stopped running to help the boy after he fell off his bike. haha
haha, sorry embo but it wasn't a surprise that you almost passed out and cried. I was hoping to see one of those pictures. Let's plan it again for next year and Melinda and I are in.
