To Austin for the Rookie Tri

This past weekend, Tante YaYa came to town and we all headed over to Austin on Saturday for our first triathlon on Sunday.

We enjoyed a festival on 6th Street Saturday afternoon.  The spring is definitely over and the summer is here, but we survived the heat.

Rachel had lots of fun with many kids games.

She did a great job of fishing.

Early Sunday morning, Angela and I were ready for the tri!  It was relatively cool and rainy - weather delayed the start.  But, once we got started we had a lot of fun.

Here I am finishing the swim.

Here is Angela!

Angela finishing her transition and heading to the bike ride.

Wes was waiting with Rachel and Owen at the end of the bike ride.

Angela came by a few minutes after I did.

Rachel joined me on the run.

She also helped her Tante YaYa.

Woohoo - the finish line!

Owen was a happy camper all morning.

Angela for her big finish.  We did not plan to have the same finishing pose - it just came naturally.

Rachel congratulated us at the finish line.  We were not the fastest on the course, but we finished and we were not the slowest so we will call it a success.
