The Kau Wela Mini-Triathlon

Bryan had a mini-tri out at Quail Creek Reservoir. It was the first time for this particular triathlon and we were a bit nervous that there wouldn't be many participants. There were 42 who started the swim, so it wasn't too bad.

The water was 67 degrees, so Bryan had on his wetsuit and was ready to go. He started off great in the swim but pushed himself too hard at the beginning and got tired. When he finished the swim he said, "This may cure me of triathlons." It was a 400 yard swim

But then he got on his bike! He sped by quite a few people and made up a lot of time. It was a 5 mile bike ride. His run was equally impressive. It was 1 1/2 miles. The course was pretty hilly.

We are proud of him!

He was contemplating doing the Utah Summer Olympic Games Triathlon in 2 weeks but we decided to volunteer as a family to help with that one. It is at Gunlock and will ride by our house and then run at the high school. I think it will be fun to help out!
