Tri in Lake Anna

Corey had his first triathlon of the season this past weekend on April 21st in Spotsylvania, VA at Lake Anna. Our friends, Zac and Annie Cohen, carpooled with us, as Annie was also competing in the race.



Lake Anna is about an hour north of Richmond, but unfortunately, it was not far enough to escape the tsunami-like conditions all of central Virginia experienced that day. The piercing rain, wind and cool temps weren't enough to sway Corey and Annie from racing. I even pointed out that we passed a Denny's and a Cracker Barrel on the way, and we could easily turn around and have a nice, dry, leisurely breakfast. No luck. Oh well.



While Annie and Corey swam, biked and ran, Zac and I made an art of spectating by passing the time making fun of all the wacko people who wear the loud spandex outfits and aero-dynamic helmets. If these people weren't in such good shape and weren't so fast, they'd surely get their asses kicked wearing stuff like this:

I'm not kidding. And of course the people who are wearing these spandex suits don't exactly have the bodies for them, if you know what I mean.

Unlike Annie and Corey who looked wonderful in their tri outfits! Just goes to show you that one can be a triathlete and not look like an idiot.

Now I know this sounds like I'm not being very supportive of my husband who has really been bitten by the triathlon bug, but that's not true at all. I couldn't be prouder of Corey. With such a demanding job and wife, he still finds the time and energy to challenge himself by participating in these races. He even completed a half iron-man last year! That's not small potatoes.

Way to go Cor! Nice job Annie!
