Here is the long awaited triathlon report. First of all, thanks to everyone for the well wishing, the support, and for believing in us.
The triathlon started out Saturday morning around 8:30 when we pulled the bikes out of the garage. We pumped up the tires, checked the seat height, and we mentally prepared ourselves for the grueling race to come.
The First Leg
Then we were off. Down the driveway, hard right turn, and churning through the gravel in the first leg of the triathlon. Kim immediately settled into a rhythm setting the early tempo and I settled in next to her on my trusty Mongoose Rockadile.
After about one and a half miles we attacked a gigantic hill, spinning our way to the top when we were beset by a wild animal. After zooming down the other side of the hill, we completed the first leg of the race. Kim chucked her bike into the grass beside the road and we were off on the second leg of the race.
The Second Leg
Biking becomes impossible about 2 and a half miles from our house at the construction site where they are building a new railroad underpass. This is where the footrace begins.
After the dirt and mud, we reached the railroad crossing. Note Kim's athletic pose as she sprints across.
Two grueling miles of pavement later, we reach the transition to our third leg: Price Chopper!
The Third Leg
The third leg of our triathlon involves eating giant pancakes. Pancakes as big as my head.
We are athletes. Fear us.

Nice. Very nice. Good to hear that you guys are still alive, and still have your sense of humor. Miss you guys!

The 3rd leg was clearly the most difficult, I'm glad you were able to push through. Kim, my athletic pose looks a lot like your athletic pose.
