MY FIRST OVERALL FEMALE WIN!

Here's to my first Duathlon- 2.14mile Run, 9 mile bike, 2.14 mile run
I totally forgot my camera but the husband came through with his phone! Oh how I love him for so many reasons.
Jesse pointed out to me about my running and how it looks like I'm floating in the air, as I notice that I have to stretch my legs to match up to everyone else's. This is the start of the race which I would of rather started in the water.

Ok so in this photo I'm pointing and telling Jesse to get moving cause I knew that I was in the lead of all of the women and I really wanted that finish photo of me breaking the finish line tape.

Love this photo! I'm about a mile into the last run and Jon Cole is racing out to the sidewalk to give me five! I have great kids that will wake up at the crack of dawn to cheer me on.

Yep I'm already trying to talk with my husband. I was so sadden not to see a finish line tape to break. This was my first overall female finish 1hour 4mins.

Halloween 2009

Every year they seem to get sooooooo much CANDY!!!!

Tyeann really wanted to be scary this year for Halloween and she mastered that! She added the perfect face expression and never put her hands down! Her title: Spider Ghost

Jon Cole picked this costume out mainly for the sword! He really worked hard at making a "Gladiator" Face!!!

Yep....even Jesse and I dressed up for Halloween this year! "We're Hanz and Frantz and we're here to pump you up"! I know old school but we love SNL.

Longhorn Iron-Man 70.3

1,993 triathletes showed up on October 25, 2009 in Austin Texas to complete the Longhorn Iron-Man 70.3 and I was one of them.... With only two Triathlons under my belt I was hoping to finish the 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run under 6 hours.... The above picture is my age group swimming....can you find me-LOL- I was one of the ones that stayed close to the towers while a few others got a little off course!

Either I was moving really fast or my husband was trying to take a photo at the same time he was crying....

My there were a lot of folks in T1 with me but hey I was in the sixth swimming wave...

Above is a cool photo!!! this is the turn around loop. We had to run past the finish line 3 times and that was a challenge on my mind!

Here I come.....yes it was my turn to go to the finish line!!!!

Everyone is watching for the finishers to enter the area and than we run on the outside of the gate and finish behind these people--- it was very hard to find everyone!

I finished!!!!! 5hrs 55mins- 70.3miles under my belt and I was a little wigged out!

I finished 32nd in my age group and 623rd overall.

Here's my father after the race with me!!!! it was so great to have him there to support me!
