I did the COUPLES TRIATHLON once again with Karen.&nbsp; I was not fast, but we did get 2nd place in the Female Friends division - not bad for team &quot;HOT MAMMAS&quot;!&nbsp; Next I have a race just outside Austin on my birthday, August 22 called the Sweet and Twisted Tri!!</p>Thu, 12 Aug 2010 10:38:20 GMT
