After our first triathlon we were all on a high and I really wanted to do another one. Well Dan found one being held at Yuba Lake and we all jumped on board, though I don't think any of us felt ready for this one. Aubrey and my Mom had to drop out since Aubrey made the Viewmont High School volleyball team and my mom got hurt skiing while boating (tough life). Luckily Josh and Betsy wanted to do one so they jumped on board. Dan also convinced his brother Hector and his friend Alex to do it as well.
We got to the hotel late and had to get up early so we were really tired, especially since Dan has been working so much. We got to the lake right as the sun was coming up, full of nerves, and feeling a little chilly. We were getting excited and the boys started first. The girls were right after them. I felt like the swim never ended but I tried to push myself. We all ended up doing well (hey, we finished!) We all beat our last time by about 30 minutes. I even took third place in my division! Afterward we all went to lunch before we went our separate ways but it was decided we are definitely doing another one, perhaps Dan and I will do the Olympic triathlon.
Ready to start!
This man rocks!
