And the photos begin...

It seems like forever since we got home from our trip, but it's really only been a few days. I guess reality always goes by slower than vacation, right? So here are the first of what will probably end up being too many photos of our recent travels up north (well, north of Arizona, not the REAL north!).

The first event of the trip was Jarad's triathlon in Provo. My parents were nice enough to watch the kids so I could be Jarad's cheering section. My job was to time his events and let him know how he was doing while he ran past me during/after each event. He told me beforehand that things like "Go Jarad" were meaningless and not motivating, while comments that would whip him into gear were more helpful. To a man that means insults, right? So when I yelled out his time halfway through the run, and followed it up with "UNHITCH THAT TRAILER!" the man standing next to me had this horrified look on his face and was totally laughing at me. I explained that my husband WANTED me to verbally abuse him during the race. Just being a good wifey!

Anyway, here are some photos of my future Ironman.

Swim (well, coming out of the lake)
