The morning after Anna returned home from Camp Tahkodah, the Zyrieks were up at 5am to head to Sardis Lake for the Dragonfly Triathlon. Gary was ready and was hoping to beat previous times at this race. Luckily Anna, Gary and Caroline all took 3 hour naps when we returned from Camp pickup so they were fine. I was a little tired since I ran errands and did a 6.5 mile run that afternoon!!
Gary ended up winning his age group which was great. His goal time was 1:32 which would have been 2-4 minutes faster than any previous time and he came in under 1:30. He was very pleased and the girls were very excited.
Fun also to see my running coach Lesley compete in the triathlon. She is a lean machine these days after having won her age group at IronMan Texas which qualified her for IronMan Kona in October which is the world championships for the Ironman competition (those not familiar with Ironman....2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run!!!)
We all rested once we returned home and then headed out to watch friends run in the Gipson Guitar 5k downtown. Great weather equaled a fun evening with friends.
