Socorro Chili Harvest Triathlon 2010

We had another fun year down at the Chili Harvest Triathlon in Socorro last weekend. Everyone competed except for Aspyn and I. Even Matt's mom, sister in law and nephew competed. So the Napier Clan was well represented. This is going to be a long post so stick with me.... Audrey did her first ever tri.. in the youth race. The youth race was the night before the big race so it worked out perfectly. We were all able to go and give our support. And the three older kiddos were volunteers. They had fun . Audrey had a blast and ended up 3rd in her age group..

Matt and Audrey before the start of the race. She asked me what it meant to have butterflies in your stomach? I told her it was fluttery feelings when you were nervous. She said, "I definitely have butterflies then."

 

I just thought her numbers were so cute on her legs..
