The Spa Girl Tri

A Mother's Day Get-Away

May 11, 2013

Sheri, Kara, Sara and Jodi

JW Marriott Resort and Spa San Antonio

We think we may have found a new tradition.  Nana found the Spa Girl Tri and suggested we try it as a get-away for Mother's Day.  This trip was awesome!  The race was awesome, the food was awesome, the accommodations were awesome, and most of all, the company included 3 of the most special women in my life.  I could not have imagined a more relaxing, entertaining way to celebrate this holiday.

On Friday, loaded the van with 4 bikes, 4 women and ALL of their luggage (that's impressive) to head south to the JW Marriott in San Antonio.

Food was not a problem on this trip!

Thanks to blogger these are not in the order I would like...

Race day!  The race was a 400 yard swim around the lazy river, a 10 mile bike and a 2 mile run.  And this was Kara and Jodi's 1st triathlon! 

 After the race we spent the day poolside with drinks and eats.  It was a gorgeous Texas spring day with temps in the upper 80s to get the summer tan going :)

This is what we had waiting for us after crossing the finish line:    **WOW**

Gorgeous morning for a race!

 thought this was funny

Jodi was fully initiated into the sport of triathlon.  The chain fell off of her bike during the race but that didn't stop her!  Fixed it and got back out there like a champ.

Sun burn on top of an already terrible bike short tan line.  What can ya do?
