2013 Spudman Triathlon (Video!)

We spent this past weekend in Idaho for the 2013 Spudman Olympic-length triathlon. While Ryan and family swam, biked, and ran...I filmed!

I had an assignment to create a VNR (Video News Release) for my graduate New Media class. This is what resulted. I couldn't help but include my stud in the Spud at the end! Ryan did a great job on his race, improving his time overall from last year. It was a family affair, with three Beck siblings and Tami's husband Mavin  racing. They're all amazing.

Here's what I was up to on the sidelines...

Ry's Birthday Weekend at Snowbird

We kicked off the last year of Ryan being in his twenties with a Snowbird staycation this weekend. Twenty-four hours of cool, clean mountain air sent us both away feeling refreshed.

Are you in Utah? Looking for a creative, free date night? - check out Snowbird's Family Flicks. We happened across "Cool Runnings" and couldn't help but watch the Jamaican bobsled team.

Saturday we made good use of our all-day activity passes, feeling like little kids trying out the Alpine Slide, Mountain Flyer, Ropes Course...I'm pretty sure Ryan set a new record for height on the Bungy Trampoline - he got lots of air as he did double backflips. We brought a picnic lunch on the Aerial Tram, eating it up at the top of the 11,000-foot summit of Hidden Peak. On top of the world! 

Happy birthday, Ryan!

Happy birthday, Ry guy! 29 looks good on you.

Check out all these fun movies - free date night!

We love how Snowbird is nestled right into the mountains - so beautiful.

Ryan got pretty excited when he was strapped in.

This was only about 60 seconds later - he launched himself high!

Crystalee on the ropes course.

Something pretty romantic about riding on a summer lift.

I just got done running, and we're both loving the mountain scene.
