Aquathon-Part 2

These are in backwards order and I didn't have the energy to fix it! So read from the bottom up!

The guys and I.

Since there were no other women in the 30-34 age group-I WON! Whoo hoo! Here I am with my blue ribbon and Kate to prove I was doing it 6 weeks post partum.

That's my head bobbing out of the water. I think I was the only one to breast stroke the whole way. Maybe I'll try freestyle next weekend at the TriChicks race.

I think I can catch her....maybe not.

A 420m run followed by a 100m swim and then another 420m run. Rob in his smokin' hot TRI-suit.

Right before the race started. Rob's on the left and I'm on the far right.

Right before the race started. The girl to my left teaches Stroller Strides and the girl to my right works out at least 30 minutes each day. Geesh! I am WAY behind my competition. I think I ran a mile a little over a week ago...


It was a black flag day (which to the military means no outdoor PT (physical training)).

Dude Meliss, you are amazing! I can't believe you did that 6 weeks after having a baby. What an inspiration. Don't tell us you were the only one in your age group, just say you won your age group! hah! ;)

Melissa,
Thanks for your comment on our blog, and how inspiring that you are hiking Fuji so soon after giving birth! You'll do great-- my big advice is just be ready for any weather condition rain or shine. We had pretty bad weather, which made it all the much harder...I hope you get a clear sunny day!
