We both finished under eight hours, and I was lucky enough to capture third in the sparsely populated 65-69 age group. Was reading about your experience in the Lake Tahoe swim, and realized that we were complaining about 63 degree water in Florida's January!!! no more....you are awesome, dude!!!

It's cool your whole family's into it. Those triathlete's are indeed an intense, competitive crowd. Diane, sorry you weren't dead last, but close enough (I had that honor at Tahoe 100 last year, and I'm prouder of that finish than any other). You're awesome.<BR/>By the way, Scott, how did you find my blog?

Well it's your mom's fault this time I guess. (Nice job Diane!) <BR/>For some unknown reason I signed up for the international distance of the Donner Lake Tri this year, and like you have done no swimming in, well, years maybe. (Since my last tri?)My swim is 1.5K, and I strongly believe I will know what it is like to "come in last," at least in the swim portion. But anyway, your half-iron was really impressive, so I guess if you can do that then maybe I can at least keep from drowning. Thanks for the inspiration! <BR/>See you in Tahoe!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-85205734174951016312007-07-03T21:24:00.000-07:002007-07-03T21:24:00.000-07:00How wonderful!

Love it! The way I look at it, even last in a race, is WAY, WAY ahead of the majority of the population. Just getting out and participating makes life so fun and interesting. Someone always has to be last. And, she will not always be last, either. But, for personality and Mom-coolness factor, she is a winner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-28537298078292247582007-07-03T11:06:00.000-07:002007-07-03T11:06:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comments, everyone!The Splash/Pedal...Thanks for the comments, everyone!<BR/><BR/>The Splash/Pedal/Dash was a quick slide and three 1 ft deep pools to run through (enough to get wet), a 1 mile bike, and a 1/4 mile run. Fastest time was 8:00!<BR/><BR/>Anupam - I LOVE the BOB Revolution stroller, although I don't run on the trails much with it. Roads, bike paths, and logging trails are all game, but if it's single track, I better be walking (I use a Kelty backpack). If your kid(s) are like Sophie, they do like a little shaking to get them to sleep, so some rough road actually helps. We are known to do 10-12 miles on the Crystal Springs trail fairly regularly. It's nice to have the snacks and water in the carrier too!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-27135207845198840892007-07-03T10:53:00.000-07:002007-07-03T10:53:00.000-07:00Hey Scott:Nice post as usual.

I would have given up at the first port-a-pottie stop :-)<BR/><BR/>I see that your daughter has the Revolution jogging stroller. Do you run with her in it? I ask because I tried out mine last weekend for 4 miles or so. But my wife was really worried that my 7 month old would be 'shaken' by his first trail running experience. <BR/><BR/>-anupamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-28953602387175366352007-07-03T10:02:00.000-07:002007-07-03T10:02:00.000-07:00I can't believe kids are doing tri's!
