A few weeks ago Kyle and I went on a Denver vacation. Nominally it was for me to do the Harvest Moon triathlon, but we made it into a little mini-vacation. On Saturday we checked out Ikea, the highlight for me was the Swedish meatball platter, then we spent some time in downtown Denver. We had a great dinner and then went back to the hotel to get ready for the race.

Race day was gorgeous. It was a little cool at the start, I was happy to have my wetsuit.

The swim was slow:

The bike ride was slower. Kyle rode around on his bike taking pictures. This was a good plan with a fatal flaw. Every time he stopped to take pictures, someone from the race would stop to ask if he needed help!

And the run was slowest.

The race ended with a slip-n-slide. A fun ending to a fun day.

The scenery was beautiful (I had plenty of time to enjoy it) and I had a great time. I have to say, it was really nice to have my own personal photographer/cheering squad. Don't the sailboats in the background seem out of place given the fact the race was in Denver?
