Farmington Triathlon
Amy, Becca and I participated in a triathlon as a team last month. It was fun, freakin hard, and super enlightening. (how do people do those all by themselves--Lindsay?)
Amy did the swim,
I did the run,
and Becca did the bike.
My favorite part of the race:
when I heard my sister talking to someone, not knowing that I was standing by say "oh shoot, don't tell Markelle" I of course immediately chimed in "don't tell me what?" The lady Becca was talking to was telling her how her son who runs college cross country told her that this run (and bike) is one of the harder races he does. lovely. This all occurred while Amy was swimming just minutes before my debut! Even though this was only six miles...by far (way far) the hardest race to date I've run.
Amy's favorite part of the race:
When we arrived, they already had a buoy set out. so we were thinking "cool, you just have to swim to the buoy, around it, and then back." We continued this positive banter trying to talk Amy up because let's face it the swim is probably the scariest event. Later on Shad comes to watch and comments "that can't be the swim! that's way too close." Literally minutes before the race starts men on motor boats start pulling two other buoys farther out in the lake. Poor Amy, we quickly had to find more reasons why this was "better." She of course rocked it and all said worrying above was in vain!
Becca's favorite part of the race:
I think about half way through her event, she dropped her chain and spent the next 5-10 minutes putting it back on...oh, and her nemesis' name was Rebecca too! (just this random girl that Becca took turns with passing each other back and forth.)
***I didn't actually ask Amy and Becca what their favorite part of the race was, rather all three parts are MY favorites.***

Um, you are amazing and you have hot legs.
You guys are rockstars!!!
And the whole swimming thing with Amy was hilarious! I would of died! I don't even know if I could swim the length of a swimming pool!
You are a freakin' hottie! Congrats on that. A TRI does not appeal to me at all. I WILL get this 5K done by the end of the year I VOW IT!
Your a machine.. I didnt know you could split up a triathlon thats fun. so about logan are you coming??
You nailed the favorite part for me too! Though I quite enjoyed watching Amy getting on her wet suit too- which by the way she had NO bulges in!(Hot mama!) How come you look gorgeous in all the pics and I look like crap? And just to clarify- the kid said it was hands down 'the' toughest running course he's ever done- he was on a college triathlon team (they do them individually though)he said the bike was tough too and even the swim gets drawn out longer than need be! So really we should all be proud!
You are hot, and AWESOME! Good job girlies! I don't know how I did it, I didn't have a choice! Let's sign up for one next year, you could totally do one on your own...
You are all amazing. Seriously. I don't understand you but I admire and appreciate and R.E.S.P.E.C.T. you 100%. Now, let's talk about this wetsuit ass some more, Amy.
