2011 Capital of Texas Triathlon

We don't have a lot of traditions in our family (yet - I want our kids to remember having lots!), but we do have one - Memorial Day is the Capital of Texas Triathlon!

Hubs has been doing the triathlon for almost six years, while I've done it once.  I even signed up for it this year - right after registration opened, when I was almost nine months pregnant.  Probably not the best time to sign up.  I trained maybe, oh, three times?  My first swim didn't end well: I had a car accident on my way back home.  Oh, well, there's always next year!

I regretted not training when we got to the expo to pick up our packets, but I had so much fun playing photographer during the race that I quickly got over any regrets.  Plus, it looked like hard work!

Hubs, however, trained hard for the race - he trained with admirable dedication.  And it showed on race day!

me and my champion!

You can even eatch him cross the finish line and see some more race day photos here:  Capital of Texas Triathlon- 21st Anniversary.  I love how people cross the finish line!
