I've completed my first sprint triathlon

By Amity -
About 6 weeks ago one of my friends convinced me to do a sprint triathlon with her. I don't know how I caved it but I did so I spent the past 6 weeks doing some serious training. This sprint tri was a 300 meter pool swim (12 laps in a meter pool), 12 mile bike ride and a 3.1 mile run. I finished, with my transition times in 1 hour and 29 minutes. I'm pretty proud of myself that I completed it, and am considering another later this year. Swimming was my toughest event, then the run. I loved the bike ride! Holly brought the kids out and it was great to see them after I was done. Holly helped them make an awesome sign which Mac drew a bike all on his own, put footprints (for my run) and waves. He even found a "medal" sticker for me. I will treasure this sign for a long time!

What a feat!! Congrats to you Amity for what you accomplished.I can't even imagine training for an event like this. Even when I was in better shape, I don't think I would have ever considered doing a Triathlon... The sign is great, glad your sister was there to cheer you on.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
