M3 Triathlon

I did it!!! I swam 1.2 miles in Castaic Lake! Today was the Magic Mountain Man Triathlon and I was on a team with Me doing the swim, David Flick doing the 56 mile bike and my mom running the 13.1 miles. It was challenging, it was so FUN! My time 41 minutes 13 seconds.



A few days before the race I looked at this map and my stomach started hurting, OH my GOODNESS! I have to swim like the whole length of the lake. I was scared! So happy I did it!!!! :)





After my swim we went to go watch the bikes, I had 3 sweat shirts on, I was freezing! (pic courtesy of Heather Keil) :)

Some of our team participants and great supporters!!!
My sisters, Sophi and Briana swam on a team too, there time was faster than me 36 minutes, way to go! :) I think I was having to much fun! :) My cousin Amanda's husband Monte did the bike for Briana's team and they had a friend run it, they got 3rd place for the mixed relay teams :) and Ben K. rode for Sophi's team and a friend, Pat B., ran it. It was such a fun day, just enjoyed everybody and cheered everybody on!

Way to go on the swim, Vanessa! I think I can swim the distance, but only in a pool! Open water scares me and I like to be able to touch the sides! You are amazing!
