Enduring Triathlon

My brother-in-law Steve, came in to town about a week ago. Among his to-do list was the Tri-for-fun triathlon, at Rancho Seco. The "for-fun" part of that title is for people like my brother-in-law. He has been running since he was a fetus. "Tri-andkeep-yourlife", would be a better title for a race that a 32-year-old mother who hasn't trained in 3 months and enters 48 hours before race time. Athletes like Steve "do" triathlons (and place), casual exercisers like me "endure" the sport of triathlon (and win a raffle for a gigantic box of Clif shots if they are really lucky). All joking aside, although Steve surely coerced me into this race, he also unselfishly supported me through it. After finishing his race, he doubled back and ran 3 miles in with me!
