The second Golden Nugget

Last weekend Jes took part in the Golden Nugget Triathlon, an all-women Triathlon just east of Anchorage. She had a great time doing it last year so she signed up again and started with her training. Sadly, life got in the way and she was held back from completing her training goals. Turns out, that didn't matter as she crushed her time from the previous year, boo-ya! She had a great time again and I was very proud of her.

The pool.

Jes about to start...

and she's off (she's in the middle of the picture)

Transition from the pool to the bike...

How much fun is this Jes?

So much fun! (I'm not being sarcastic, she was really having a good time out there).

It is at this point that my photo taking abilities failed me, so I will paint a picture with words. Jes finished the bike with a great time, she transitioned to the run and passed me long enough to say something to the effect of 'my legs don't work right!' I took this as a good sign, she was making jokes during a triathlon. She finished the run in a good time and we celebrated with some truffles and coconut water. Another great time at the Golden Nugget Triathlon, well done Jes!

Cheers,
