Cooterfest Triathlon

When Josh decided to do his first triathlon, I was excited for one last opportunity this season to finish another triathlon.  His only stipulation...we do the Cooterfest Triathlon and we do it in costumes.  What I thought was a crazy idea, ended up being a crazy awesome idea.

There wasn't a lot of time to train, but there was plenty of time to find costumes when we registered just three weeks before the tri.  Cooters are fresh water turtles, so naturally we needed to go as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Josh also recruited Beth (her first tri too) and Itsky to join the costume tri fun; so we were all set with the whole turtle gang.

This tri was so fun, that only photos will do it justice.
 

Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo were ready for the race, bright and early that morning.


The swim was a little brutal.  I've never swam in a completely black lake and was happy to just finish this part.

The ride had several rolling hills but still a very fun ride.

Hamming it up.


Check out those karate action moves across the finish line.


Post Race Photo.  Good job Josh and Beth (they both killed it)!
