Lake Chaparral triathlon

On Sunday we had Lake Chaparral triathlon. The weather sort of cooperated. A bit drizzly but not cold. We were lucky not to have any thunder or lightning. Johnny and I arrived just in time to watch the men olympic swim start. Watching from the dock with old racing buddy Mark was cool. Rose joined us and we watched Madi have a strong swim leg for her part of a relay.

Then the Sprint race started. We saw Ben back in action for race number 2, Bill taking on another sprint and Teri taking on her 1st triathlon since her hip replacement (Wow).

Well the ladies were 1st off and Johnny and I cheered from the dock again and we watched Teri exit in what seemed top 10. So far so good. Once she was off on the bike we went back to watch the Men exit the water. It was very busy and I ony saw Ben and Bill exiting T1 and hopping on their bikes.

Watching the race was fun as we get to see racers that we have not seen in a while. We saw Pete, Ben, Corey and Mario. They were all looking good.

Once the bike was over we moved over to the grass to watch the finish. Here we saw Teri finsih strong and win her age group. Ben had an incredible sprint to the finish and placed 3rd in his Age group. Bill was also having a good race and he finished 3rd in his Age group.

Nice racing everybody! Next race is the Apple and then it is IronMan Canada! :)
