Bintan is one of the most beautiful places to have a triathlon. Everything about the race was incredible. Tribob did an brilliant job putting the event together.
This was the view from the porch of our chalet.
The cove was absolutely beautiful, and was a great place to swim, snorkel, and get some sun. Unfortunately we were a bit pre-occupied with the race and didn't enjoy it as much as we should have.
Picture of what our little chalet looked like.
So beautiful.
Here are some of the pictures we took the day before the event.
This is where you entered and exited the water after the swim.
Pre-race set-up the night before we checked everything into the pit.
This is where the pre-race jitters finally started to kick-in. We started wondering what we had got ourselves into.
The bike pit.
Emily, Sarah, and Mindy right before the race.
Jeremy thought the swim nearly killed him!!
Sarah is a fish! The swim was nothing for her.
Jeremy trying to catch his breath (aka recover) during T1.
Sophie was such a sweetheart. She helped watch Crew during the race, he absolutely loves her. We were able to see Crew a couple times during the run. I got my second wind after seeing his cute little face I couldn't wait to finish!
Sarah finishing the race.
Look at that cheeky smile! (This picture was taken about 30 seconds after Jeremy found out who's time was better ha ha)
Part of the gang. All the rookies did the Sprint Distance in the morning, everyone else did the Olympic Distance later on in the afternoon.
The after-party!! It felt so good to be done!! We can't wait till the Triathlon season starts up again the beginning of next year.
