Panama City Beach Triathlon

Jason and I went to Panama City Beach, FL this weekend to complete our second triathlon. Courtney was nice enough to come along and take some pictures of us during the race. It was a 1/3 mile swim, 10 mile bike then a 3 1/4 mile run. The swim was in the Gulf, and it was crystal clear. So clear that after the first jellyfish sting I was able to watch out for them and try to dodge them.

Here I am coming in from the swim, and I was the first girl in from the swim.














Look at Jason coming in from the swim.














Jason has finished his bike and off to run (Yes, he did pass me on the bike).
















Here I am coming in from the bike.































Coming to the finish line.





























Yeah!!!! I beat my time by a minute and 2 seconds!!!! Those 2 seconds must have been from the fact that I didn't wear sunglasses this time!















Rehydrating afterward.














Jason won an award, for fifth place in his age group. Yeah!!














Here is one of my wounds from the jellyfish! I got stung twice, the first time across the chest, the second one wrapped around my arm.
