This weekend we headed up to Burly, Idaho to cheer on Elizabeth's dad in the annual Spudman Triathlon. Here he participated in a 1 mile swim down the Snake river, a 25 mile bike ride, and a 6 mile run. In all he completed it in an impressive 2 hours and 32 minutes.
Since there is only 1 motel in Burly Idaho, and over 1500 race participants, we opted to park the car and sleep on a nearby golf course.
Transitioning from the bike to the run
Let's just say it gets mighty cold at night in Burly
Brushing his teeth before heading down to the starting line
First came the swim in the Snake
After getting a good look at the wide variety of participants, we decided we could totally handle this thing next year.
The putting on of the wet suit was quite an experience in itself...
All ready to jump in the freezing water
Waiting at the finish line
Because he was in Wave 4, this studly athlete's time was actually 2:32
And there he is, hardly breaking a sweat.

WOW, I'm impressed! That's some serious dedication. I thought 30 minutes of jogging were a hard workout ~ now I feel like a wimp...
JLAR= in better shape than 50% of American 20-year-olds. And since I KNOW how much Daniel loves to run....I decided I would even travel up to Burley, Idaho and sleep on a lovely golf course if you two embark on the journey of SPUDMAN 2009.
