After an intense and busy summer of training, I finally did it! Yesterday was a big accomplishment for me as I finished my first triathlon. My whole family came out to support me and I had such a great time. I didn't have a lot expectations other than wanting to finish under 2 1/2 hours...my time: 2.29:41 The swim and bike were both a little faster than i thought, and the run took a little longer. The weather was really cold in the morning(55 degrees as i jumped in the water), but turned out to be about 70 as crossed the finish line. God really blessed us with a great race day smashed between 2 days of rain. Josh and his mom both took some good pictures. Here's a little view of my day
Getting ready to swim with a few of the girls I trained with
#290...The funniest thing about this is I picked up my race packet and was marked on Friday night. Nobody told me it would rub off all over my sheets! I don't just mean black smudges either. The actual #'s 290 are on written backwards on my sheets now! I'm guessing since it's permanent marker it won't come out in the wash either :)
Finishing with a Smile!
