Valley Girl Triathlon

Our trip east was nice, we left early and missed traffic through Portland (key) and stopped off at touristy Multonomah Falls to stretch our legs before completing the drive to Spokane. There was a nasty thunder storm there that took out power at several locations but we missed most of it and spent the night at my sister's new apartment, her first solo place. I've never lived by myself so I'm quite jealous of her but I guess I'll settle with a sweet husband and cute animals instead. I could use a little me time occasionally though without a pair of eyes staring at me.

We went shopping Saturday morning and my sister cut Bill's hair before we picked up my mom and forced her to go to a water slide park in Coeur d'Alene ID. My mom made all the appropriate screeching noises on her first trip down, oops! We picked the fastest slide (named Cruiser) instead of the slowest. Good times! Afterwards we watched Le Tour and chowed on mom's awesome tacos (the joy of being home). Sunday we loaded up the Jeep with tribabe.com gear and found the park at Liberty Lake to set up for the Valley Girl triathlon.

What a great event! It is put on my Ende sports and is done well from beginning to end. I can see why it sells out quickly every year, they give out pink t-shirts to all of the finishers that are adorable, I would do this race it for the t-shirt alone! The division winners (5 deep) got medals that were star shaped and had pink ribbon. I had a pink hoodie embroidered with the race name for the overall champion and two pink beach towels for the athena division winners. Sales were great for me and the crowd was wonderful. I think Qdoba was serving post race food and a band played as the finishers perused the vendor area. The same organizer puts on another all women's event called Wunderwoman triathlon next month so I think I'll be back for that event too!

So it was a great trip with the family and now we'll hang at home for a while unless we can think of a new reason to take the Jeep out for another road trip!
