We Did It!!!


Here we are immediately after finishing our Thanksgiving Day triathlon.


My brothers Eric (left) and Porter did awesome. It was so much fun training for this with them.


Exciting news for me is that I finished 2nd out of 31 in my age group! That made me super happy. And I was in the top 20 overall...there were over 200 women.


I had the fastest swim, I just need to shave a little time off my run and a lot of time off my bike.


I am officially addicted.

I'm addicted too and I'm a cow right now. I can't wait to see what the addiction turns into once I'm fit as a flippin fiddle! Portion control Porter! Portion control!!!!!! Way to go Dixie!! You rocked the house! Thank you tons for making me do this!

I'm certain you'll be able to rock the bike even more. Let's see where you can go with this.

Woohoo!! Way to go, you are awesome. I think you are going to be winning these things if you do any more!!

No surprise you had the fastest swim!!! I can't imagine the knee injury a few days before helped your run, at the very least you were probably extra careful as that was the first leg. YOU ROCK! No surprise to any of us, but Very Exciting!!!

Awesome, Dix. I'm super impressed! Of course, not impressed enough to get my chubby body doing it, but still mightily impressed.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is AWESOME DIXIE!!! So proud of you guys! I ate a lot on Thanksgiving. In fact, I think I took second place in calories consumed! :)

Look at those GUNS!! I told Brian I'm going to do a mini triathlon this year. I asked if he wanted to do it with me. No response. I'll probably be the last one in the race, but I'll finish the damn thing!!! That's the only goal. Finish.

YOU ARE AWESOME. That was so cool seeing your name up there second. Like Porter said, I'm addicted. I am looking forward to the next one with great anticipation. Thanks for encouraging us to do this.

2nd place is pretty freakin' great. Lucky for you I wasn't competing, or it would have been 3rd. :) hehehe. I love making bold statements like that when I know there's no real way of proving it. You're a superwoman.

Ummmm....your muscles frighten me. But on the plus side, you like me...so maybe I could put them to good use against my enemies, especially if those enemies live across a large body of water seeing as you seem to have grown gills as well. Really, Dixie...the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW), also known as my female childhood heroes, have nothing on you. Later!

Holy Cow Dixie, you are in awesome shape.....I have recently started to get back into shape, so far I have lost about 27 pounds, and i just ran my first ever 5k, I am starting out slow, it so hard to start over, I wish I could come to Arizona and do that race with you...I need someone to get me back in gear again
