2008 Orange County Triathlon pictures and write-up
On Sunday, my sister in-law Alison competed in the 2008 Orange County Triathlon. Alison killed it, 11th in her age group and 361 overall including the dudes. She looked strong the entire time and you could tell her hard work had paid off. Carter and I rode around in the Burley chasing Alison along course where ever we could while Julie hung with Landon back at the start/finish. Alison had around 10 people cheering her on at all time.
Breakaway Training athlete, Beth Gerdes was the first woman to cross the finish line. While I was standing at the bike transition Beth came tearing in and a bunch of the men hanging out said, “how does she get up and go that fast!?” She was hauling out of T2.

The promoters/race planners put together a fun race. I was jealous not to be out there. The course was beautiful and challenging and the weather was perfect.
I miss triathlon,
