Quick change fast!

After the swim I ran over to my bike and had to quickly dry off, put on a shirt (so I wouldn't freeze on my bike), put on my shoes and socks, and my helmet. Oh and also my number belt. 

Right after the swim

Drying off my feet so I wouldn't get cramps in my feet.

On with the number belt and helmet....

Off with the cap

Here I am getting out of the water - to save time I took off my goggles and swimming cap before I even got out of the water!!

Tres Froi!!

The water was tres froi - very cold (French). In these photos you can see my little pink head bobbing up and down in the water. We swam out and around a boui back to land.

GO!!

"AND THE ORANGE HEAT IS OFF! 15 MINUTES AFTER THE BLUE HEAT. THERE THEY GO.

WHO IS THAT STRANGE PERSON WEARING THE PINK CAP?"

On your marks, get set.....

David's heat was the blue heat and mine was the orange heat. David's heat left first. 

While Daddy was in the US he bought us swimming caps, blue for David and pink for me (I was going feminine because I was the only girl in training). What we didn't know was that they gave out swimming caps at the registration of the triathlon. The one's they gave out were blue. I was the only person wearing a pink cap. 

Getting ready for the 200m swim.

Some girls were wearing bikinis! I was wearing a tri suit that Daddy had picked up in the US.

Veronica's 3 way guide on how to put a swimming cap.

1.

Stretch you swimming cap until it goes over you head. 

2.

Then pull it so it covers most of your hair.

3.

Stuff all you hair into the cap - you're done.

Our tattooed legs

On Friday, June the 11th we met up with David and Andrew and rode to the start of the triathlon. We registered in, then got tattoos on our legs.
