I TRI-ed!!!!



On Saturday, I did my first triathlon! I thought up the title to this post during the race, I needed to keep my mind off of the task at hand. It was definitely a lot of work, but from a field of about 250, I finished 8th in the swim (400m). It went down hill from there. The weather was rainy and windy, which made the bike ride (15 miles) a pain. The run (5k) was hard too just because I was so tired after the ride, but I finished in under an hour and a half which was my goal, and as the picture shows, I was still smiling at the end!














This is me finishing the swim. I went all the way to the wall when everyone else just got out at the ladder.
Here I am finishing the bike ride, I'm signing, "I love you," to Joann and Lindsay. I was more concerned with enjoying myself than the race. I won't post any pictures of the run, because it was just too painful. Next time I'll train better, but there will definitely be a next time.
