yes, my number was 1

All of us women who have married into the Bird family did the Tuacahn Duathlon on Saturday. 5K run, 24m bike, 5K run. I had such an enjoyable time: amazingly beautiful scenery, perfect weather, my body felt great, and I finished the race. In two hours and thirty-six minutes. I was shooting for under three hours so I was very happy. Courtesy of Ashley and Kurt, here are some shots:I don't think I could ever get enough of that Snow Canyon rock. You forget you are exercising it is so gorgeous!
Mindy looking awesome.Peggy waiting for us to finish - she came in at 2:09! Very inspiring.
Jana happy on her bike! We had a little scare when she almost collapsed after finishing - not enough calories. Made me feel a bit less embarrassed that during my huge breakfast Adam asked me if I was maybe eating too much? Audrey has a 3 month old and is 2 months pregnant. I kept on waiting to get a call from her saying she wasn't going to do the race. Pretty darn tough!Finished! At least Mindy and Peggy were at this point. I was about 13 minutes behind. All of us but Peggy, who was getting ready to leave us in the dust. Thanks to all of them again for going along with my idea. I am so grateful that I have such wonderful in-laws.

I love your number that is exciting. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I think a BIG part of the race is who is doing it too. Congratulations on a great time.
