All of our hard work and training finally paid off! The Anthem triathlon was yesterday...and everyone did a great job. Ryan, Riley and I all signed up for the sprint triathlon a couple of months ago, about a month ago Ryan had to bail out because he had to work the morning of the tri but he was able to meet us up there after work. The adult distances were 400 meter swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run. The kids distances were 200 meter swim, 4 mile bike and 1 mile run (not sure it was a full mile).
Riley did amazing! He took 8th place overall and 2nd place in his age group. He trained hard for a couple of weeks but then just here and there for the last month....this just shows what kind of drive to win this kid has....he tore up the swim. He must have passed 10 kids in the pool. His swim time was 4:56, his bike was 24:00 and his run was 6:40 for a total time of 35:36. We are so proud of you Riley, congrats! A few side notes from the race, he was so nervous getting in the water but after a lap...there was no turning back...he gave it all he had. I did the run with him and as we turned the first corner the rest of the way was all up hill....and he says we have to go all the way up there with disbelief in his voice, but he did it. Great job! As for me on the other hand....I needed that drive I guess!
What are we going to do now? Riley was so into the race on the way home he asked Ryan if he could buy a race bike with his own money. Maybe we will do another tri at the begining of next year and see if we can't get the girls in on the fun.
A bunch of people in our ward did the triathalon too and everyone did amazing. Katie, Deanna and Louise all finished within 30 seconds of each other with amazing times. It was their first time doing a triathalon and they all had a great time. Mark, Mike, Darrin, Arron and two of Arron's kids all did it as well. Maybe we can start a team from our ward...the Page Ward Triathalon Team...what do you think? I will post pictures when I get them, I forgot my camera (whatelse is new right)
