JRE Closing social

This is my tenth year teaching at Jordan Ridge Elementary. We had a baby shower for six women and seven babies (twins) and combined it with our closing social. We got Waffle Love to cater and we opened up baby shower gifts. It was yummy and fun to celebrate the new babes on the way!

TRI like a girl

I volunteered at a triathlon last year and earned a free entry for the Daybreak TRI. Today I finished a Sprint Triathlon. It's always a success for me to complete an event and have the desire to do it again. After today, a half ironman is not going to happen anytime soon. I need to learn to swim better. I know I could complete the bike and run for a half ironman but swimming is not a skill I've mastered. The swim should've been 750 meters (.5 miles) if I swam in a straight line to each buoy. My GPS clocked 1 mile and that included .1 mile of a jog along the boardwalk. I used every kind of stroke - crawl, back, side, and breast stroke.

At one point I was tangled with plants and had to kick them off. Was it plants or possibly a zombie?

The bike route was up Baccus Hwy.  and then down. I enjoyed the course. The run was around the lake and once my legs got moving normal I enjoyed the run section. I am volunteering again at the Triathamom in August and plan to Tri' again next year...possibly another cheaper TRI this year. I will look into it.

The final time on the TRI board was 2:03:04 - Similar time from my sprint in Fruita, CO.

Zion Trail Ragnar

Only in Utah can you get sunburned one day and frostbite the next.

2/3 completed because of the snow.

I would do this event again. Loved it! Great team, awesome trails, and

loved that we were not in a van for two days!
