Tri In The Pines

Yesterday Aaron and I competed in the 13th Annual Tri In The Pines Triathlon here in Show Low. We had a great time. We did the race as a relay and we came in 4th overall. It was an 825 yard swim, 12.5 mile bike and 3.5 mile run. We will definitely do it again next year. Haven't decided if we will compete individually or as a team next year, we will have to see what happens.
Sorry the pictures didn't post in the right order so you will see them in reverse. I actually started the race with the swim and Aaron did the bike and finished with the run. Here is Aaron running.
The Finish Line
Here comes Aaron to finish line!
The champion finishing the triathlon. We were very happy with how we performed. It was a great time.
They had a raffle after the race and I won this water bottle.

Here I am before the swim. I was pretty nervous, but excited.
Showing off our team number. We had to have both arms marked, our age on our right leg and our team number on the left left leg.
Getting ready for warm ups. I was the second girl out of the pool and fourth overall. I was just happy to not be the last one out of the pool.
Aaron coming in on his last lap on the bike. He did great on his time on the bike. I am sooo proud of him!
