I finally made it to Bear Lake not for reasons of leisure but for reasons of insanity. I took granny, Brock, Caleb, and Coop camping at the Rendezvous campground in Utah. The water is beautiful, shallow, and warm. The boys stayed at the beach and caught frogs and tiny catfish. We had cottontails, squirrels, and snakes in our campsite. OK, that sounds like leisure. It was the Bear Lake Brawl that turned this leisurely little trip into insanity. When Megs mention a triathlon this summer, I thought I would just go watch her. Little did I know she was sucking me in to her twist version of fun. Swimming, fun, biking, fun, running, sucks. I can't believe some knucklehead put all three together thinking it would be a rip roaring good time. The Brawl is a little race made up of an 800m swim, a 12 mile bike, and a 5k run. I'm excited to say, I finished. It was in the end a great experience. It was amazing to be around so many great athletes and their positive energy. It was also a great experience camping with the family. We camped in the path of the race. It was awesome to see my little ones looking up at me and cheering me on. I thought for sure they were going to chase after me but luckily it was hot enough they were happy to stay put. I am already planning to shave 30 minutes off my time for next year. What is wrong with me?
