You should "TRI" it!

In the trasition area before the race

Very nervous-about to swim

coming out of the water--thank you Lord!

Crossing the finish line

Matt and I after the race. I had pizza and a hot dog at 9:30 that morning (after the race)


I finished my triathlon! It was not easy and I must say, I was glad to cross that finish line. It was actually a really fun experience and I enjoyed the competitiveness of the race. My swim went fairly well. After 5 minutes in the lake, I made up my own little stroke I named it the freestyle side kick! It worked for me! The bike was wonderful. I enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery and the feel of being on the bike. I may have enjoyed the scenery a little too much because my time was not great on the bike and nobody else was talking about how beautiful the bike ride was but me. I made up some time in the run. It took some time to finally feel my legs after hopping off the bike, but once I did it was a nice and easy sprint to the finish. The best part was that I had my biggest fan, Matt, to capture it in pictures and to encourage me along the way. I will do another one, for sure!
REALLY--you should "tri" it. It was fun!
