Triathlon #3 - Coalville, UT

When the Salem triathlon was rained out I thought it would be a good idea to sign-up for an Olympic distance triathlon. I didn't realize how much more training I would need. I was not ready and really didn't want to do it. Eric finally convinced me that I would at least finish. I did. I didn't even have to walk but my run time went from 7 min miles to 10 which was frustrating. My swim was great (32 min. - that's my time in the pool). My overall time was 3:20. I figured I did okay since it was a qualifying race for the World Championships and most people had thousand dollar bikes. It made me feel pretty good when I was doing better than someone on a $10,000 bike. I think I like the sprint distances better and will stick with those for a while.

Geyer Family Union 2008

Thanks to the fires in CA our Lake Shasta trip was cancelled and we spent most of our vacation in San Francisco. The first day we went to Marine World and the kids had a blast. Porter loves Thomas the Train.

Porter was so excited to take a picture with "Thomas daddy."

On the way home from San Francisco we stopped at the jelly-belly factory. The kids go a bag of jelly beans and both made themselves sick eating almost the whole bag.
We had a fun but exhausting trip. Porter is super tired still and we have been home for several days.
