A few months ago, Johanna was tinkering around on the internet, and found out about a Triathalon going on the day after Jeff's wedding in Ione, a little community just south of Sacramento. It consisted of a half mile lake swim, 16 mile bike, and 5k run. She was able to convince Jenny, Jill, James, and Jack to participate with her. (Unfortunately, the week before the Triathalon, James hurt his collar bone in a mountain-biking incident while on vacation with Rebecca's family in Utah, and was unable to compete.)
The day of the race, everyone woke up early (which is saying something, considering the wedding reception was the night before!) and drove to Ione to check in before 7:45am. Jenny competed in the Women's Athena division, Jill and Johanna competed in the Women's 30-34 age group, and Jack competed in the Men's 25-29 age group.
Jenny barely missed 5th place in her division, when she finished in 2:11:21. Jill placed 23rd in her division, completing in 2:10:44. Johanna placed 15th and came in under 2 hours, finishing in 1:54:42, and Jack beat his goal of 1 hour and 45 minutes, coming in at 1:40:54.
All in all, everyone had a good time, were glad they were able to complete the triathalon, and can't wait for next year to try again.
