I don't have any pictures for this post, but it was funny enough I wanted to write about it anyway. Chris signed us up for the Sunrise Duathlon which we did this past weekend on the 24th of May. We had to run a 5k, bike 21 miles, and then run another 5k. The wind was so strong the bike leg was quite a challenge. During the event I could see that I was toward the front of the pack of girls so we waited for the awards ceremony to see if I had won anything. As they were announcing the categories they wanted to give a special award to the only female to finish the international length in the age 75 and above category. They announced from Mountain Green, Utah, Paige Bell! I was too embarrassed to get up and claim my award. I know I had a birthday the day before, but I didn't know I had become a 75 year old. Chris had mistakenly signed me up for the wrong category. We had a good laugh about it for a while. Chris did great with one of the most competitive categories and finishing 5th and I would have finished first in my 'real' category if I were signed up correctly. In all we had a fun and challenging time.
