YMCA Dash & Splash

I did my first Dash & Splash this morning.  I have to say, swimming after running is harder than swimming after biking!  My heart rate was up after running the 2 miles when I jumped in the pool to swim the 400 meters.  But it was nice not to have to get my biking gear together.  Not that I'm giving up Tri's, but it is nice for a change.

The best part of the day was doing this with my 12 year old daughter Katie. This was her first event of this kind and she really enjoyed it. It was fun to see her getting her body marked, putting on her timing chip, and watching her compete (the kids race first, then the adults).  She earned a silver for her age group.  I even earned a metal for my age group.  And I won a $25 gift card to a local bike store!  What a great way to start a Sunday!
