Las Vegas Triathlon

So what's next. Increase in distance of course. We went to Lake Mead to do an Olympic/International distance Triathlon. That's a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run.

Here's a picture of our bikes in the transition zone - it was still dark when we set it up.

Here's a photo of our buddy Daniel getting ready for the start of his Half Ironman distance triathlon.

He's getting ready for the Arizona Ironman in November (that's the one I want to do next year)

And here's Daniel crossing the finish line. It was excrutiating HOT.

A lot of people dropped out due to the heat.

Jacques and I at the start of the swim by Lake Mead.

Daniel and I before the start of the race.

Those things floating way way out there. That's the buoys we had to swim to. 1.5km is freaking far, let me tell you!!!!

Here's a photo from our hotel looking out to lake Mead. If you zoom in you can acutally see the buoys for the swim part of the triathlon.

We all finished really strong and can't wait to do our next one!!!
