Escape from Scofield Triathlon ~ July 18, 2009

The night before the race Damon did some fishing and we all tried to kill a soda can and a beaver in the water by throwing rocks at them. Actually, Adam tried to kill the beaver.
Adam and Ashley ~ We love hanging out with you!
The morning of the race the escape distance racers were shipped out to a little island where they had to swim back to shore for 1.75 miles. This part is what the guys were so excited about.

You asked for it Dae...this was the highlight of the race to me...
I won't ever forget this moment. I'll admit I was concerned about him doing a race this hard. His hardest race ever...almost a half ironman. I was so nervous waiting for him to get back from the bike. So here he comes after his bike ride, starting the 10 mile run. He ran past me with a big smile on his face and held his hand out to give me five. It was an eye opener at how much this man loves racing. I am so proud of him.

Ann, that is so awesome! I want to run a race sometime! I noticed you have been labeling your photos. And I love your writing, it is really fun to read in more detail about your life. I need to do that too, I feel so busy with a crawling (everywhere) baby. She takes all my time right now, and it is all worth every second!
