Road Trip!

Thats right! Road Trip! I left my wings at home and Nick and I headed to Colorado in the man van. It was an awesome tri trip! I havent gotten to see Nick race a lot this summer and was pretty much counting down the days to this weekends trip! Some friends of ours, Shawnie and Austin Jenkins, came up from Denver to cheer Nick on which made it even more fun!! Nick raced amazingly and it was so fun to watch!! He took 11th out of the pros and 2nd out of the amateurs!! He had a great race.

So... you girls that have watched the bachelor since season 1 might recognize the guy in this next pic! Its Ryan Sutter from season 2!!! He married Trista!! Anyhow my friend (Debbie) was racing and saw him in the water before the race. Luckily she got my attention so we could snap a pic!! (No we are not stalkers but we do LOVE Xterras!) I would also like to point out that Ryan and Trista are living proof that the Bachelor is real and they do find love... SO Nick leave me alone.

<<<< Bachelor Ryan Sutter!!! (And Debbie)

I got to run my first 10k while in Colorado this weekend too!! I wont lie- I totally surprised myself! It was a very hard race - 1300 ft vertical climb and it was hard to breath due to the altitude! I took 1st in my age group and 4th overall!!! Like I said- VERY SURPRISED! This pic sums up my feelings on the climbs....
