A wonderful friend June participated in her first ever triathlon! I couldn't be more excited and proud. This girl has grown into such an astounding young lady through the years I have known her.
I had a long talk with her father during the race and it turns out that mom and dad are both athletic, but June seemed to have missed to genetic boat. Last year she ran a couple of road races with me and seemed to be having a rough time. I didn't think it would stick. But this year she had moved away to Boston and decided that she could and would be athletic too. She's just not a quitter!
June participated in a local triathlon in our area that consisted of 1/3mi swim, 3mi run, and 2mi kayak around the pond. We joked that next year we'd do a relay and I could run for her. :P
My aunt actually participated as well so there was twice as much reason to come. She really kicked some serious butt. After the race I had to ditch the camera for a bit because I ran the trail with my aunt and we picked some wild chanterelles. It was so much fun!
