Chinquapin was closed so they said, "What the heck!"
Made 3600 yards even though the water was HOT!
Swimming a lap with no breath and a flip turn? Harder than they thought!
STEB started her day before the alarm
In the end it didn't do any harm
She got going after a bit
Time to knock out a pre-race brick
STUR, STEB, and CBun met up to get their Reston Tri packets -
Lots of cool swag for the asking!
 |
| Packet pick-up - check! |
They checked out both T1 and T2-
The Rabbits are happy to race together- it's true!
 |
| Checking out T1! |
Attempted to scope out the new start of the run course
Didn't make sense but saw a groundhog galloping like a horse!
 |
| Lovely flat water lake! |
Three rabbits had decided to give the Reston Tri a try-
It was STEB's A Race and in CBun's hood- that is why!
As for STUR she thought it would be fun to tag along-
With her friends around- she'd feel strong!
With a 7:15am start it meant an early morn
STUR got to STEB's house before 5am? Sure!
Arrived to the venue without any trouble
Got T2 rack spots next to each other on the double!
 |
| Getting ready to roll over to T1 from T2... |
There they met up with CBun
And then they headed with their bikes over to T1
This race is unique in that transition
Is located in two different locations
It was a little sketchy riding to the lake in the dark
STEB almost took out a cone which would've been a bad way to start!
Got T1 set up and body marked and such
Was there time to kill before the wetsuits went on? Not too much!
There was a bit of a delay
Cars parked on the course were in the way!
 |
| Lake Audubon swim course! |
Finally the waves started rolling along
Before they knew it STUR and STEB were swimming strong
CBun's wave wasn't too far behind
And a 1500 meter swim sounds just fine!
After the swim STUR took her sweet old time in transition-
Just getting the wetsuit off was her main mission.
STEB came blazing in and out -
"Have a great bike ride!" STUR did shout!
STEB enjoyed chatting with STUR in T1
She was ready to head out for some biking fun
She bid STUR farewell for the time being
And headed to the mount line to begin riding
STUR is finally on the bike and out on the course-
A little chilly to start in her biking shorts!
First two loops felt the best-
But the third loop gave her legs a test.
Spotted a girl with a pink shirt from the Kingdom Swim in Vermont -
Turns out her name is Sarah and she did the 25K jaunt!
Enjoyed thanking all the police and volunteers
STEB counted down her laps all while changing gears
She finally rolled into T2
Bunny ears and a pit stop then just a run to do
So glad to get to T2 - STUR took a small break-
But a 10KEH run was now at stake.
Donned the bunny ears and started the shuffle
Definitely feeling a lot of her muscles!
Got a record number of shout outs for the ears -
Made people happy and kept them going it appears!
One guy did shout "kill the rabbit" at STUR…
He meant no harm - just to a Bugs Bunny clip he did refer!
STEB has never done the Reston Triathlon run course with ease…
The changes this year made it even harder - oh jeez!!
For STEB there was definitely some walking involved
It's all forward motion – so problem solved!
She also saw the Kingdom Swimmer named Sarah
On the run course, gave STEB a boost as she ran towards her!
 |
| Finish selfie! |
The three rabbits reunited at the finish line
Checked out their bling - medals are divine!
 |
| A little swim/bike/run is always fun! |
The bunny love was definitely off the chart
As was all the race support!
As the Rabbits were packing up and heading out -
Some Team Rabbit fans gave them a shout!
For their "costumes" they said they deserved a prize:
Try this can of Busch Lite on for size!
Celebrated later with their free beers
It was all because of their ears!

| Cheers! |
