My 5th event was the RUSH Tri in Rexburg. I did the Olympic Relay with 2 other friends. It consisted of a 1mile swim ~ 24mile bike ~ 6.2mile run. I did the swim, which is first.
I decided to rent a wesuit and was so glad that I did. I tried it out a few days before up in Victor and was a little worried, because even with the wetsuit, the water was still FREEZING and I was starting to wonder if I could really do this. Fortunately, Rexburg is quite a bit lower in altitude. As most people got in and commented on how cold the water was, I was thinking it felt warm compared to the pond in Victor.
Here we're just heading out to the buoy. This is where they started us.
Running to the transition area.
Heading in to pass off the timing chip.
Lyndsey Kunz did the bike. She's amazing.
Here she is handing off the timing chip to Cathy Thomas for the run.
Cathy did the run which was a 10k. Unfortunately it was pretty similar to the 10k from the DAM Marathon we did earlier this summer, only worse. Instead of running up the road, they divert you off onto a tiny little dirt trail that shoots straight uphill. Cathy did awesome.
After the race. We came in just barely over 3 hours, but finished 1st out of the womens teams. 
Only one more to go!
