My Hero

Troy, my amazing husband loves to be active. Swim, Bike, Run...and even with bad knees.

He trains really hard. This year his final triathlon was cancelled. We were so bummed. It was a lot of fun to do last year. It was in Ogden, we were going to make it a annual vacation. Hopefully it will happen next year.

So he and a friend decided to do one in DayBreak instead. Two days before that one the lake they were supposed to swim in was closed due to round worm. YUCK. This was another huge disappointment. So they were bussed to a pool for a 75 yard swim then a short mile run back to the transition area and then the 11 mile bike ride and 5k. Troy is really strong in the swim and the bike. So he was upset about finishing the season and possibly his triathlon career with the changes.

But my hero was amazing and took 4th in his age and 18th out of the 174 males.

He has announced to me he will do 1-2 tri's next year. I hope to do some too.

This picture is from the Camp Yuba triathlon. He took 3rd in his class and 8 overall.

On a whim I did it too. My goal was to do it under 2 hours. I did. But I only trained 7 days and still did it faster than my first ever tri, with training. That is depressing, sort of.
