RUN in the heat..... BIKE up steep hills..... SWIM in a 50 meter pool

Brian and I completed the Pleasant Grove Triathlon on Saturday. We had such a great time training the last couple of weeks together. The race was so hot because they didn't start it until 9:00 in the morning and by then it was already blazing hot!!!
We started with a 3 mile run
Then a 8 mile bike ride
ending with a 500 meter swim
Brian finished in 1hr 18 min
Kara finished in 1hr 29 min
(That included all of the transition time)
Before the race
And were off!
I tried to stay up with him but he's just too fast

By this time, I was dying of heat and very excited to get on the bike

So you two are inspiring. What is the last triathlon you are doing this year? Maybe I could get on the ball and do that one with you.
