Darren just bought a Triathlon store in March with two friends. Meet Dan and Kyle. Dan has done done tri's before but Darren and Kyle haven't. So they signed up for one together. They weren't looking to podium or anything, or even come in the 5 or 10. They were just trying to beat each other. That's competition enough!
Pre swim - the swim was open water- meaning 300 people jumping into the water at one time then fighting to get ahead. Kicking and smacking each other the whole time. Water temp 68 degrees! 750 meters (just over a half a mile!)
Then they jump out, take off their wetsuit and bike 13 miles up a mountain on their mountain bikes. Did I say Up a mountain. Up to a ski resort to be exact. Then they park their bike and run 3 miles- UP a mountain. For those skiers out there, the course ran up a black diamond hill. Who can run up a black diamond hill- Not many people did!
For my race Darren bought the kids these great shirts- They say, my mom is faster than your dad! We wore them again for his race. GO DAD!
So are you dying to know who won- Which of the three friends won????

Go darren!
Congrats! That is an amazing accomplishment.
Congratulations Darren
i like the top picture. they placed in order of girth.
Haha k8t. I was just going to say, Darren does have an advantage in such an up-hill race. Gravity was probably working pretty hard. Great job guys, that sound grueling!
Have I told you that I think you guys are awesome? Seriously, that is such a cool accomplishment. Way to be, Darren. :)
That is so awesome. Brian wants to do a tri so bad. You guys are incredible!
