Sedona, Mountain Man Tri and a little green guy

In an effort to catch up on our summer adventures, I have combined a trip to Sedona, a triathlon in Flagstaff and a visitor to our casita.

Adrian tore is ACL back in May in the last 10 minutes of soccer practice. That pretty much ended his soccer league career for the season.

He was unable to keep off his knee for long and within a few weeks had started excising again. He focused on swimming and biking and figured why not sign up for the Mountain Man Triathlon, which I had planned on participating in months before.

We headed up to Flagstaff for the weekend and stayed with our good friends Meghan and Craig -- also known as the Craigen.



The Olympic distance course started in the Lake Mary reservoir and the bike and run was along Lake Mary Road. The bike was hillier than expected, but I managed to shave about 15 minutes off my Wildflower bike time back in May.

Adrian kicked ass - especially on the run - and finished about 30 minutes before me. Adrian finished the 1,500-km swim, 25-mile bike, and 6-mile run in 2 hours 42 minutes. I finished in 3 hours 19 minutes.

After the tri, we left for Sedona. Here are some photos of Sedona and later when we returned home, this toad snuck his way into the house.
