The Spudman

Mary and I did the Spudman triathlon in Burley, Idaho last weekend. Jeff came along to be our driver, bodyguard, and cheerleader. He got the new iphone before we left, so the whole trip we heard about and saw demonstrations of his new apps.

We camped on the banks of the Snake River, where the race starts.

Mary borrowed Sara's Jr. Dome and it was very small. We pitched our tents when it was light and didn't realize we had pitched them right under a huge park light.

Jeff and I didn't get much sleep. We giggled over Mary's Jr. Dome, the park lights and taking pictures with his iphone.

This is a picture from our tent at 6:00 a.m.

I swam in wave 2 of 8. I have a rule, no pictures in my wetsuit, or of me racing but I figured this didn't count. We all look the same.

The 1 mile swim was first.

Then the 24 mile bike. This is Mary lest anyone thing that fine body is mine.

Crossing the finish line after the 6 mile run. Mary was so proud of this picture she took, that she begged me to put it on the blog. It did break all racing picture rules, but she insisted so to appease her I have posted it.

I was glad when that was over.

This is Mary picking up on some guy she thought was cute. I only got a picture of his feet, as she would have killed me otherwise. Jeff and I were watching from a distance laughing. While driving away, Jeff wrote Mary's number on a paper and gave it to him. Mary and I ducked in the car and of course couldn't stop laughing. On the way home, when we wanted to get something to eat, Jeff jokingly remarked that we should fast for the boy to call. He always keeps us laughing.
