Yesterday I enjoyed watching my girlfriend Julie complete her first triathlon of the year at Heritage Park. She completed an IronMan last November so this was a piece of cake for her.

Julie’s 2 hour triathlon at Heritage took less time than JUST THE SWIMMING section of her Ironman. Yes I know, she’s officially demented if she chose to swim for that long. If I had to swim for 2 hours straight I think I’d know I’d die. Don’t get me wrong, I can doggy paddle with the best of them but if it takes more than 10 minutes – please party it up at my funeral. Anyway, now that we’ve established her mental capacity she obviously makes up for it physically.

Fortunately it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Although that didn’t change the fact that Julie was swimming in 70 degree weather but that part was her choice so what do you expect with the aforementioned lack of logical reasoning?

Julie before her swim. At least she was smart enough to wear a wet suit.

Can I tell you how hard it is to get a decent picture of someone riding a bike during an event? People are always walking in your shot. Hello people can’t you see I want to take a picture?

Apparently these guys dress up crazy for this event every year.

Here’s Julie’s medal she got for finishing. Way to go Julie!!
