Lake Arrowhead Triathlon

Beautiful Lake Arrowhead Friday afternoon the Vegas clan headed up to Tad's house to watch the Lake Arrowhead Triathlon. Tad, Brent, Tyson and Kari all competed in the race. First up was a 600m swim in Lake Arrowhead. Next up was the 10 mile bike ride. Last, the competitors finished up with a 3 mile run. The four participants from our crew did a great job!
Tad wins the medal for the most hilarious experiences during his race. He saw some pretty funny things. Brent wins the "sprinter award" catching Tad at the last second. They ran across the finish at the same time. Tyson wins the "I-survived-a-near-death-experience-award." During his swim he had three guys swim over top of him keeping him under the water for 30 seconds. That's a long time when you're out of breath! Despite that, Tyson finished 8th in his group out of HUNDREDS of others. Pretty awesome! Kari wins an award that I don't even have to give her. That would be "second place." That's right. Only ONE other person in her age group beat her. Way to go Kari!

I posted a bunch of pictures on my Picasa Album. Check them out!
