Amanda's Second Triathlon

It was freezing cold camping Friday night (July 15).  The altitude is 7300 but I didn't expect 32 degrees and frost all over the ground.  Miserable night for all.  Amanda had left her wet suit inside out over night and it had ice in it.  Brrrrr.

The 67 degree reservoir was warmer than the air.


The boys were moderately happy that morning and awake so I ran off with them to see their mom race.   John stayed with Autumn until she woke up.  So well, I didn't have my camera again...although I got to see every transition and cheer her on.   Finally, John and Autumn showed up and John hiked back to the car for a camera.  He was able to get Amanda running and finishing.  So I apologize but this is what we have:
Autumn holding wild flowers for mommy
 



Closer shot.  Amanda ran in 5fingers.  She said she won't do that again.  Calves are shot after the bike ride and a different shoe is necessary.  But its a great shoe for training.
Yay Amanda!  Good job!  Next triathlon...Herriman???
