Pink Cheeks Triathlon

First big race of the season in Seward. Sarah, Beaté, & I participated as Team pHysio pHems. Sarah did the 6 mi bike, Beaté ran 3 mi and I did the 900 yd swim. No photos of me swimming (thankfully). We were all happy with our times and we placed 4th in our age group! not bad for a group of gals just out to have some fun!

Sarah & Courtney showing us how to properly stretch. Butt OUT.

then some balancing poses?
and then some impromptu ballet moves
fueling up before the bike leg of the race
Fun to see folks from work outside of work. Go Robert! I think Robert was one of the first 5 in the run?
run then bike.
Sarah contemplating her race strategy.
there were a few costumes. Like Biploar Bear. It was a HOT day. just looking at this costume made me sweat.
Courtney off on the bike leg!
Here comes Beaté!!
Nancy Anderson crossing the finish line.
Kari finishing up her run.
and off on her bike!
Tony the tu-tu guy. He biked in his tu-tu, too. not sure if he swam in it...
Nate finishing his bike leg
Timmy swam in the lane next to mine. then got recruited to help with the finish line. those volunteers should get some hazard pay - some of those bikers forgot to slow down at the finish!
here comes Sarah, wishing that guy would move over just a bit so she could pass
Sarah & Timmy at the finish
Team pHysio pHems! I think that's Mt. Marathon in the background. *gulp*
Rhonnie, Christy, Nancy & Susan. Rhonnie is 61! and she did the entire event solo. these ladies are an inspiration!

go team!
super fun race to kick off the season.
