Try Tri Again

Bethany and her twin sister Charla competed in the U.S. Women's Triathlon in Naperville, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) last weekend. The format was a half-mile swim, a 14 mile bike ride, and a 5k run. They both improved greatly over their debut at the event last year. This year, they both finished ahead of over 1400 of the 1900+ competitors in the race. Charla finished 38th of 277 in their age division while Bethany finished 77th. Not too shabby. They improved on their swim times, their bike times (despite stopping to help a woman with a flat tire), and their transition times (it's amazing what NOT stopping to pee between events will do for your time). And Char kicked booty on her run which accounted for the difference in the twins' total times. Their family is very proud of them both.
