Salem Sprint Triathlon

What do you do on your first full day in Salem? The Salem Sprint Triathlon, of course! And that is what we did today. Two teams, Team Should've Trained: Hap, Jay, and Jennifer, and Team Insha'Allah (if God wills it in Arabic): Elizabeth, Nathan, and Heather. 

Hap and I during and after the swim...

Nathan coming back from the bike...
 Nathan and Elizabeth's bike to run transition....
 And she is off!
 Jay and Jennifer's bike to run transition....
 Elizabeth coming in strong...
 Running in as a team :)
 Jennifer finishing strong...
Mark, Betty, and the boys came throughout the race to cheer us on!
 Team Insha'Allah took first prize in the team category....there was only two teams :).

Lining up in descending age order. We enjoyed (cried) seeing the participants' ages...many were a bit older than us!
 We all survived and had fun. This may have to become a new tradition every few years when we are all in town.
 Go teams go!

You all did a great job - Most important you had a lot of fun. So, if we are reading this correctly, the two incredible teams made up of Purcell's and Jolliffs came in first and second place - Way to Go. 😎👍 Great pictures. Nice the boys were there with Mark and Betty to cheer on the teams.
Love To All

Way to go! It looks like you all had a wonderful time! You'll definitely have to do it in future years to defend your title :)
