Mudwater Tri 7.10.11

Yesterday morning, in the wee hours, Adam and our friend Ryan headed over to Lake Afton to compete in their second triathlon. The wives (Risa and I) and Sutton waited til a bit of a more decent hour (but still...6:30am...eww) before we left to go watch.

Neither of us were able to watch them in their first tri, so it was really cool to see them compete. We both just kept saying how proud we were of them!

Despite the early hour, the heat was ridiculous. It ended up getting up to like 110* yesterday afternoon, so even at 9am, we were sweating buckets. I can't imagine how bad it was for the athletes.

I took along my nice camera and got some photos of our boys! They started out swimming...


Our friend Liz was there competing as well!

Ryan leaving transition.




 This was the longest portion we had to wait to see them again. It was hard to try to get pictures when we had no idea who was coming til they were right there. But luckily, I didn't miss either of them.





Adam saw us on the sidelines and said a quick "Hello!" to Sutton before dismounting and getting ready for his run.


We got to see them about halfway through their run, still going strong but feeling the heat.



Saying hi to Sutton again. Sutton was a.n.g.r.y. at this point. Hot and tired.

Finally the finish!!! Here's Ryan...


And Adam. Good job guys, we're so proud of you and how well you did! Can't wait to cheer you on at the next one!
