Finished the .5 mile or so swim. Made great time in the 60 degree water!

12 miles up the mountain later he's ready for the bike-->run transition

Feeling a bit tired.  Only 3.2 miles uphill to go.

DONE!!!!!

Before they were X-Men

Now they are X-Men.  Xterra.  Where the real men compete.  

Haha--am I a commercial or what?

You know you're a Mom....

....when selling your diaper bag and toys all your sweet babies played with is harder than it would seem and makes you a little teary-eyed once it's gone.  Especially when you're trading that diaper bag for pre-teen and then teen years.  It feels like I'm retiring from baby years and I wasn't quite ready to be done with them just yet.  This bag was so worth more than the measly five bucks I asked for it.  But I put that into our trip fund to help perpetuate new memories.  I think my babies can appreciate that.
