I didn't do it.

So I didn't end up swimming in the reservoir, and I'm sure as heck not doing it now. It is FREEZING! Last weekend there was a triathlon in Moab, and Chris and I did that instead. Neither of us had trained for it, but we decided to go for it anyway.

Chris was THE bomb. They reversed the order so it was run, bike, swim. We all know Chris is an amazing runner, but he is even more gifted on the bike. He was with the front pack during the run, but on the bike he passed a few more guys and was in 1st place!!! He is just built for cycling. When he got to the pool, there was a guy just behind him, and Chris told him to go ahead. Chris just learned to swim this year, so he has really struggles at it. He is getting better, though. Chris was passed by several other guys and ended up finishing 5th!
This picture isn't of this race. We couldn't take any since we were both racing. This is Chris transitioning from the swim to the bike at the Hillman earlier this summer.

My race went well for me. The run was tough especially with my hurt foot, but I survived. I was able to pass several people on the bike, and finished the swim strong. It was a really fun race, and we were able to do it with some of our friends from Blanding.
