Last weekend it was finally time for the Kida relay. I had been looking forward to to this race for a while and was very excited to be on a team with three triathlon studs: Leslie Howlett, Jameson King, and Ian Nelson. We were hoping to be able to win the co-ed division but secretly…

Swim 750 meters, Bike 12.4 miles, Run 3.1 miles Pre-race: My sister, Emily, and my niece, Lynn, flew in from Germany Wednesday night.

My first time on Antelope Island. It is really pretty! What better way to kick off the 2010 season than the Buffalo 25k on beautiful trails with your husband and 2 great friends? I can’t think of any … Karl was signed up to run the 50km but had been injured for a few weeks….
