Tim places in the Tri - Swim/Bike/Run - can you say brrrrrr!?!

On the day we had Travis mission farewell (Feb 21st) my bro-in-law suggested to Tim that they do a Spring Triathalon (half-mile swim in open water followed by a 12-mile bike ride and finishing with a 3-mile run); Tim was game and he convinced a friend from work to do it, too...so they've been training for the past 3-1/2 months. On Saturday all that hard work came to fruition...although it took some coaxing to get Tim into the 59-degree water at Hyrum Reservoir (the outside air temp was only 50). He got his best time ever in the swim and attributes it to the desire to get out of the water as quickly as possible. At the end of the day, he was standing on a podium - in first place! for his age group/class. It was fun and now the bug has bitten. The bunch of them are signed up for another Sprint on July 10th. The weather has got to be warmer, and we hear it is a more competitive race, so the training continues.
