Thanksgiving Day Triathlon!

On Thanksgiving morning, Kimberly and Cassidy competed in the local triathlon! They had been training for a while, and did an awesome job. I personally don't know why anyone in their right mind would even consider subjecting themselves to the pain & agony of a triathlon, but what do I know.

Here are the girls right before Cassidy's triathlon began.

Cassidy (& some sexy dude in all black) on the "run" portion of the triathlon. Kimberly informed me 5 minutes before Cassidy started that a parent could go with them if they'd like (hint, hint).

Here we are towards the end of the 4 mile bike ride (I was riding a huffy mountain bike pulling 100 pounds of kids behind me...I literally thought I was going to die).

Here's Kimberly passing everyone up on the swim portion of the adult triathlon.

Motoring by at an average 20 mph on the bike.

What a hottie...flying by so fast in the run portion, I couldn't get the camera ready fast enough.

Here are some of the amazing triathletes after the race. Dave and Karin Rusick with Kimberly. I think Karin finished 1st place in her group, and Kimberly finished 3rd in hers. And Dave didn't finish in last place (there was a 1-legged 75 year old woman that he beat out). I must admit, I was pretty impressed with how well they all did (including Gina, Big Red, & Chris).

PS - For those of you who were wondering, I finished first place in the kids triathlon. I had to trip a couple of 6 year olds in the run, and push over this one kid on his bike, but I made sure to bring home the gold.
