Bear Lake Classic

So my college roommate, Melissa, and I did the Bear Lake Triathlon sprint last week and we surprised ourselves by actually surviving and not coming in last. We had a great time! We had no idea that there were official triathlon singlette suits that you can wear through the entire event (I had to surfer change from swimsuit to biking clothes out in the middle of the crowd.....which made me think twice about those official outfits), or that it was taboo to take porta-potty breaks during transitions (which made me think twice about renting a wetsuit in the future since I am pretty sure when and where the rest of them must be taking their bathroom breaks), and we didn't really care about winning (which was good since that would have been a pipe dream), we ran more than we walked (we think), and learned a lot for triathlons in our future.
Overall, it was an all-around great day and very good experience.

Yea, and this guy? Well, we just hoped that #1046 was his wife and not someone he had scoped out during the race. Who knows, maybe she too didn't get the official singlette suit memo and was stripping down in broad daylight under her towel as well. Yikes.
