Verrado Mini-Triathlon


VERRADO MINI-TRIATHLON

It is sad to say that many months have passed since our last triathlon. Of course we just got out of the cold winter months that unfortunately are not great times of the year to be doing this sport. So on Sunday May 2nd we participated in our first Triathlon of 2010 and I can't tell you how great it felt to be back. The event was located in Buckeye, AZ in the Verrado community. We did the mini-tri which was 150 yard swim, 12 mile bike and 1 mile run. Mike placed 1st in his age group and I placed 3rd in mine. Here are some pictures of the event off of the photographers website.
