ELISA WINS THIRD PLACE!

Well...I just have to log on here and brag a little bit for Elisa (since she's probably too humble to brag for herself!) She did a totally freakin' amazing job in the Triathlon today...seriously impressive! You should have seen the crazy amount of hills out there at Lake Pleasant! And she still managed to be cheerful after all that crazy working out!

We had a great time and I will leave the rest of the story for her to tell...But I have to mention that she got 3rd place for her entire division!!!! Yea! So I want *everyone* reading this post to respond with cool comments of congratulations for Elisa....yeah, you! If you're reading this you'd better write something! Let's overwhelm her with comments of support and congratulations! Click on "comments" below to write yours! (You don't have to sign up for an account to reply but make sure and sign your name so she knows who it's from).

Here's a picture of the amazing girl as she runs off for the last part of the Triathlon!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Go Elisa! Wow! More from her to come (I'm sure!) Love, Jess

Elisa made it look so easy. She didn't even seem out of breath when she finished swiming or at the end of the race. Imaging running those miles and still taking time to look good for pictures. Amazing.
