In an attempt to do anything but work, I took a few minutes to check out the press pic's from yesterday's Olympic Trials. Among them was this nice shot of Bec and a fellow triathlete on the third leg (note that thought she's behind here, she did in fact wind up passing her before the finish line).

As Bec recounted, yesterday was not her day. The glory--and the Olympic berth--went to her training partner, Julie, who had the race of her life to make it to her second squad in her second sport--an amazing feat. Just as amazing is the fact that I share similar DNA with one (make that two!) of the fastest female triathletes in the nation. Regardless of how Bec finished yesterday, the true accomplishment is that she made it to the Olympic Trials. And how many people can say that?

So congrats to Bec on this phenomenal feat, and here's to an awesome '08 season for both of my pro triathlete sisters. Expect to hear many, many good results from them within the next few months.
