YMCA Inside out Triathlon

     The NorthWest YMCA held a wonderful triathlon yesterday. The results were posted as soon as we got home. They had wonderful homemade desserts and fruits aferwards. They gave a plaque for overall 1st, 2nd, and 3rd male and female, 1st in each age group, and fastest swim, bike, and run. All other awards were medals. One really cool thing they did was give a special medal to everyone there who did there first triathlon that day. They sent out a swimmer every 15 seconds. The pool was only 25 yrds. therefore you had to swim there and back in one lane then switch to the next. They had the transition well organized with designated spots for each pearson. The bike racks were the perfect height wich is more important than you think. The worst part about the race was the wait for the awards was a little long but they had a free massage afterwords to pass the time. The distances were shorter than advertised. The overall male winners were Andrew Alexander 00:54:26,Jeff Keele-Lien 00:55:50,and Jimmy Adams 00:58:52. The overall female winners were Gina Carnley 01:11:24, my mom Becky Hall 01:11:41, and Kimberly Garcia-Bebe 01:13:10.  The first place female and male overall won a $100 gift card to Go Run. The first of 4 teams was Team James with a 01:01:08.
