Lake Padden Triathlon

Jodie is at it again. This time she was in the Lake Padden Triathlon. It was a competitive 1/2 mile swim - that's across the lake and back again, a 21 mile bike ride and a 5.2 mile run.

Here she is getting ready to enter the water for the swim portion of the triathlon. She's already giving us a thumbs up. She was ready for this.

READY - SET - GO!!!!

 Out of the water, wet suit off and ready to head out in her bike. She had a very quick transition which really helps with her overall time.

 Back from the bike ride, change shoes and hat and she is off for her 5.2 mile run around Lake Padden. That is 2 trips around the lake.

 

Coming in to the finish and still smiling!

 The timer shows 2:43. That time started as the first swimmer entered the water. Jodie's time from start to finish was actually 2:35. She was hoping to finish in under 2:30, so she came pretty close. She had a little trouble with her asthma on her last lap around the lake and that slowed her down a bit.

 One happy girl!
