Jill and I planned a family vacation in Cascade that just happened to coincide with a triathlon at Cascade Lake. This was a first for me in several ways: my first triathlon of the season; my first shore start (where you run in from the shore and dive in as opposed to starting out treading water); and my first open water swim with waves (due to some decent winds). The waves REALLY made it harder because sometimes I'd turn to take a breath at the same time a wave was going over my head . . . not fun.
Anyway, I was the 9th person out of the water, 8th off the bike and 7th at the end, right behind two bafoons who tripped eachother and slid across the finish line on their bellies.
The vacation was also lots of fun. We went with our friends Ryan and Kate and their 3 kids. We ate lots of food and spent a lot of time down at the lake, even though it was a little too cold for the rest of the group to jump in.
I'll post pictures later.
Good job. Too bad that guys that fell down and slid across the across the finish line in front of didn't fall backwards.
