I'm calling this a family race report because everyone in my family participated in some sort of race on the weekend of July 23 at Donner Lake. I am also proud to say that all of us made the podium! A family that races together, stays together.
 |
| No race prep is complete without taking the time to make sure your bike is clean and ready. The kids cleaned up their bikes on Thursday. |
 |
| Packet pick-up. Jillian's first open water triathlon! |
 |
| Helen and Jayden's first open water triathlon too! |
 |
| Nature's Bakery Fig Bars to keep the hunger away! |
 |
| All packed up and ready to race! |
 |
| Donner Lake is absolutely beautiful! |

| Saturday morning sunrise - just before the Sprint Distance Tri Start |
 |
| I did the open water 2.4 mile swim just before the kid's race started. I was very happy to come away with the overall female spot (Wetsuit Division) and not too far behind the overall male. It was a great training opportunity for me and swimming in Donner Lake was amazing. As the sun rose, the rays looked like a disco ball light in the water. I am proud to represent Team Freeplay and thankful for the opportunity to participate in a Big Blue Adventure Race. It was really nice to participate in a race weekend that had something for everyone - Open Water Swim (varying distances), Sprint Tri, Kid's Tri, Olympic Distance, and 70.3 Distance. |
