Triathlon at Lake Meade

We went south this past weekend for Wayne's triathlon at Lake Meade. We got up early and drove to the race. 

First, you put your dashing triathlon suit and trendy swim cap.

Then into the lake. You can see Wayne about 1/3 from the left.

 Starting to swim 1/2 mile.

 When they finish the swim, they run up the lane to the bikes. Most people are pulling shoes on and wetsuits off while running. I didn't get any pictures of Wayne until the finish, because every time I would see him I would get excited and cheer and tell Penelope where daddy was, forgetting about the camera.

Luckily Dini our friend (and real life photographer) got one:

 The bikes were lined up here and people got all of their biking stuff on for the bike part. This man we will call Ripped Rocket Guy. Wayne wants a helmet like Ripped Rocket Guy. Please, please tell him he can get ripped but he does not need the rocket helmet to be a better triathlete. I think it is horrid looking.

Wayne biking:

 After 12 or so miles of biking, they return to the same place, jump off, take off helmets, etc, and start running. Penelope waits for daddy:

 Here he comes! Finishing the 5K running part:
