I went running 2 different times, one while we were in Madrid and once while we were Benalmadina along the coast.

It ended in a marina. As I was running I noticed a lot of markers and signs.

It was actually a free day, so if I had known about it and had been training, I might have been able to compete. Nevertheless, I did some research and found it online. It was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockthesport.com\/evento\/triatlonbenalmadena\">II TRIATLON DE BENALMADENA<\/a>, a 750 meter swim, 20 kilometer bike, and 5 kilometer run event. As we left our hotel to begin our events for the day, I noticed policia up and down the main road and they were beginning to block off the course. I was hopeful we&#8217;d get to see the bikers as they came past. We weren&#8217;t able to find a cambio to exchange our dollars so we ended up wasting a lot of time, which turned out to be a good thing. Just as we reached the turn around point the lead motorcycle went zooming by. I was fretting the decision of trying to get the kids to stop and stand around a bit to watch, but they all seemed happy to do so. We waited and watched for 10-15 minutes as the riders came by. We probably left before the mid-pack triathletes came by, but it was fun to watch and cheer them on! It definitely made me want to compete and think about getting back into swimming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/crossn81\/13981689588\/in\/set-72157644573365716\/player\/\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/crossn81\/14165007591\/in\/set-72157644573365716\/player\/\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/crossn81\/14165001511\/in\/set-72157644573365716\/player\/\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/crossn81\/14165594722\/in\/set-72157644573365716\/player\/\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started working on making a photo book from my recent trip to Spain with a group of 8th graders.
