Downtown Orlando Triathlon

Well our team did pretty well...we came in 6th out of 15 teams. Our total time was 1:26:25.....my swim time was 9:03......Marie's bike time was 37:36......and Matt's run time was 37:42.




Me, Amy Lopez, Andrea Rediske, Shanell Goodell, Tinae Goodell, Marie Winchester, Tracy Bosch.
OUR FAN CLUB!!!



This is Matt at the beginning of his run....Yes Matt has his shirt off! :) It was VERY hot! :)


Then we all jumped on a shuttle to the finish line....Gavin was being so funny and leaning on Kennedy the whole ride.


Here's Matt at the finish!!! We got off the shuttle JUST IN TIME!


Gavin didn't want to go to Matt until he put on his shirt and wasn't quite as sweaty :)


Emma wanted to run too so Matt grabbed her and they both ran through the finish line together! CUTE!


Matt, Me, Shanell Goodell, Mark Goodell (poor guy...he got a flat tire), Tinae Goodell, Tracy Bosch, Marie Winchester, Amy Lopez, Andrea Rediske. This is most of us...we are missing Robert and Andrew Bosch.

Amy Lopez is a GREAT photographer (OK her husband John took some too)...here are some pictures she just sent to me....










Team TriHard R&W!!!!!


Stretching just before we start

Here's the mass of people just before entering the water...can you see Amy and me in the back center???


Amy and I give one more smile and wave to our kids on the dock before we take off...we had to stay in the water for 2 minutes before the start.

Here we go!

Hey Heather...I am impressed with you!!!! It looks like you ran a MARATHON! Wow I don't think I could do that! I don't know about hot mama...I wish I would remember that people have cameras at these events and get my hair trimmed beforehand! :) Actually the water is really warm. In fact they were worried about the amoebas in the water because people have died before in other lakes that get too warm and the amoebas get bad. So they made us sign a waiver saying we wouldn't sue them if we died :) They also gave us nose plugs. The worst part of the water was the high grass/plants that were scratching us throughout the whole swim. My arms would even get tangled in it! Talk about gross. Thanks for your comments and support everyone!

Way to go!! I loved the pictures, it made me feel like I was actually there. You are truly amazing and a great example. I hope to pick up running again sometime soon but my pillow is more appealing right now than my tennis shoes. Thanks for your great example. Love you tons

OK I'm not going to lie. It just makes me sick to see these pictures. That is where I am in my fitness level. I can't even swim the length of my pool, let alone the ocean. Yea, I'm a slug!!! Anyway you go girl!!! And Matthew you're a stud!!! A super skinny stud. I have a picture of you in high school without your shirt on, you're lookin' a little better. HAHA!!!!
On a different note, I'm tryin' to talk my husband into a trip to Orlando, are you guys coming home for the holidays this year? Just wondering, I was thinking about coming after Christmas and doing the Disney thing. It seems to be the only time the whole family could maybe go. Anyway Maybe!!! Love ya all, Stay safe!!!

Greg and Wendy said...

Congratulations on yet another triathalon! And fun that you both could participate. You are both in such great shape! I absolutely LOVED seeing all the pictures and especially of your little fan club! Matt, loved the picture of you running with little Emma! Keep up the good work as your bodies will thank you for it some day! We are proud of you!

Jocelyn said...

Did you add new pictures? Those ones on the bottom are great! Matt's looking better than he should for such an old man....;)
And Sara, don't fight it -- you're a babe.

Wendi said...
