I did a sprint triathlon on the 21st. I was fourth place overall and fine with that. I trained hard the days leading in, then hard the days after. I swam and rode fine, but did not run as fast as I should have. My 5k mile splits started out at half marathon pace (6:14), sped to 5:55 for the second, then finally settled to a 5:39 pace for the last mile. I have never run a 5k like that before and did not intend to. I haven't done much speedwork, and almost all runs I have done have been off the bike, so I am thinking it just took me a while to get down to a good 5k pace.
In Life: The first weekend (14th-15th) was rainy/cold again, then the following one was awesome. We went over to my parents house and spent the night on the 14th with my sisters family. It's always good to stay up at the house where I grew up.
The second weekend, I did the sprint triathlon out in Longmont (Summer Open), then we had a "last week of work" BBQ at our place after that.

Registered for the Bolder Boulder. This race is the reason I am an endurance athlete.
Aiden at his "house" in the back yard
Aiden's school had an art show. Here he is with his map. Everything is colored and he labeled all 50 by name. I'm really proud of this.
SHOTS! BBQ season is here.
No shot for my sister - She is being smart/driving
My niece Autumn with Aiden - She stayed the night on Saturday, then Beth took them for a super fun day on Sunday.
These two are awesome together.
