Spencer's First Triathlon

On Saturday Spencer and my little brother Matt did their first sprint triathlon in Provo. Both finished and that is all that I cared about and really that is all they cared about too, since there wasn't much training that went on for this. First it started out with the swim in Utah Lake. They swam a half mile and then it was off to the transition area to get ready for the bike. The bike was two loops along Provo roads, which equaled about 12 miles. After the bike they change into their running get up and ran about 3 miles. Both of them did great and they were feeling pretty good about themselves afterwards. Now both Spencer and Matt have the triathlon bug and are looking for more they can do. Triathlons aren't cheap though, most of the ones they were looking at yesterday were about $100 each. Obviously not a cheap sport to get in to.

My dad and I were the perfect spectators and tried to take as many pictures as we could. Seeing all those people out there having a good time kind of gave me the tri bug as well, but we'll see about that!
