Tri this

Brian, Ryan, Ken and me at the Steelhead Tri


This is a picture of 4 men who traveled great distances to compete in a race. You will notice by way they are dressed that not all of them competed in said race. A Half Iron Man is no joke. Just ask anyone who has had to exert themselves for over 6 hours for a cheap looking medal and a T-shirt. If they laugh at you, then that means they just finished a race, are in a state of delirium, and you need to get them some water, maybe a doughnut, a glazed pastry, or quite possibly medical attention.

Props out to those of the Canyon Men who competed in this year’s test of strength and stamina. I think next year we should do something less demanding, like bowling.

I, for one, am all for the bowling idea. I became winded after the grueling 2 mile uphill bike ride just to cheer on half of the Canyon Clan.

Cheering for a triathelete is a lot like cheering for NASCAR, except instead of yelling for your favorite car every lap you get to cheer for your friend only 3 times in a 6 hour time period. It's all worth it though.
