Bay Days Triathlon

For the second year in a row I decided to do the Bay Days spring triathlon in Ashland. It is good motivation for me to get a bit more fit and get out and exercise in the summer. Last year was a lot of fun and went well, so I was all in again this year. I didn't feel like I was able to train as much on the weekends, but I hit the 5:30 am training hard and biked pulling both the boys in the burley bike trainler. (they got heavier this year that must have been the boost to my training.) It was a great day for a race and it went well. I took 4 minutes off my time from last year. The swim was about 1 minute shorter and my bike was about 3 minutes faster. I was the first girl out on the bike and one girl passed me on the bike, but I was able to pass her back on the run. I got 1st overall for ladies and 9th over all the men and women. Thanks to my dad for race support and picture taking :). Oma and Todd managed the kiddos.
