Dare to Tri

On August 27th we competed in the Maple Grove Dare to Tri triathlon which is our favorite because we see so many people we know and we have great fans that come and watch (Gendreaus, Bakkes, Sarkelas, Vokals).

This is the transition area just after dawn - when we got there at 5:30am it was pitch black.


Me coming out of the water (I look faster in still photography thank goodness).


Kristen coming in from a blazing swim - 2nd fastest in her division (notice the guy she passed who started in the wave BEFORE her!)


Jan heading out for her run.


Macca (Chris MaCormack) raced in the TriStar 111 race at Maple Grove and the girls talked to him for a bit and got a picture. He is a two time Ironman World Champion - he won the Kona Ironman Triathlon in 2007 and 2010.


Our Tri trio - we have done all our triathlons with our great friend Kristen Gendreau. I was looking at this photo and the one above with Macca and noticed that the girls switched out guys for lighter skin and a darker hat...guess I should let my MN body see the sun a little more in the summer :)


Jan had an awesome race and ended up getting 1st place in her age division beating out 46 other women. These were the top three in Jan's division (L-R 3rd, 2nd, 1st)


I had to get a cool one of Jan since she won.
