Another triathlon for Rachel

Rachel competed in the Crossroads Triathlon in DeWitt, Iowa today and performed like a champion. I think there should be a special triathlon category for sleep-deprived mothers. As you can see in the first picture, Rachel was tired before the race even started.


Here she is waiting to jump in the pond before the start. Luckily, Rachel loves treading water because this race had an in-water start.

Heading out on the bike in T1. It looks like she stopped to pose for this picture, but she was actually moving right along.
Looking good! Almost there!
Calvin was very happy to see his mama after the race.
I'm very proud of Rachel for performing so well today, for riding a bike course lined with so many Devil Birds (aka Red Wing Black Birds), and for looking so good in her new tri shorts!
