Don't Like the Weather in Utah...

Go to Vegas...
So we did
Last weekend, five of us headed down to Vegas for this triathlon (my 2 friends and I did a relay). If you ever want motivation to get in shape, drag your bootie to an event like this - I would guess that 80% of the women there were in amazing shape - the other 20 were like me - I could pull off the race but could DEFINITELY be in better shape. Nevertheless, it was a blast to be in the beautiful 80 degree weather with girls that made a long drive seem like a jaunt downtown. Our relay team did pretty well - we placed about 6 out of 14 - hey - it was our first. My friend Andrea placed 39th out of about 450 and Cobi JUST had a baby 8 weeks ago and completed the entire race - you go girl! I got this biking photo off of the race web-site. As soon as I get pics from my friend Whit, I'll get some better ones up...
