Last year this time, Deni was preparing for her first triathlon.
After competing in the 2005 Salem triathlon, I've heard Deni say a number of times that "it was the best day of her life." (of course excluding her wedding day to me). Last year, Deni had planned on riding her mountain in the triathlon, however she called Mad Dog Cycles in Orem and borrowed a road bike for the race. Since then, she has wanted a road bike. Finally her dream came true. Now that she has a fancy road bike, I've told her that she has to improve her time from last year, or we have to take it back. She's excited about the bike. I've ridden it a few times as well, it is much faster than my old moutnain bike.
