TRI Weekend!

My first triathlon and the kids Triathlon are officially upon us.  Tomorrow, I will compete in the Chaska River city Day's sprint Triathlon.  I am pumped.  My goal is to get onto the podium for my age group(30-34)so I am mentally trying to prepare myself to keep on pushing it tomorrow.  If I don't make it up there, you can guarantee that I will have tried my hardest and pushed myself to my limits while having the time of my life. 

The kids will be participating in their second triathlon on Sunday.  It is the Miracle Treats for Miracle Feet Kids Triathlon.  My friend Barb's son was born with bilateral club foot.  Each year, DQ and Gillette Children's hospital do Miracle Treat day.  If you buy a blizzard on July 26th from DQ, they will donate a portion to Gillette's Children's hospital.  The triathlon has been organized by my friend Barb to raise more money and awareness for this cause.  My kids have a blast doing it every year.  If your kids would like to do a triathlon, this is the perfect venue as a starter course.  It is done for fun and for a good cause.  Win/Win in my opinion.

Good luck to all of my fellow triathletes who are racing this weekend.  A special shout out to my kiddos Avery, Bennett & Bria who I am so super proud of!  You guys rock!
