My First Triathlon

Well after talking about it for years, I finally decided to do my first triathlon. My friend, Sara recruited everyone she could to do one with her. It was a lot of fun. We trained and enjoyed early morning runs, swims and bike rides (in the cold and wind). But overall it was a great experience. Enough that I am going to do one this weekend again. There was a large group of women who decided to do it. Thanks everyone it was a blast.

My times were

Swim 8:04 min/100yard 2:41.4
Transition 1 -2:59
Bike 42:05 mph 16.4
Transition 2 -54.650
Run 22:25.640 min/mi 07:28.5

I took 71st overall out of about 500 ladies. I was really proud of myself

My friends Holly and Kris both were really sick last year. They both were able to train and both did so well. I was proud of both of them.

Sheena, our friend was really sick the day before the triathlon. She had little energy but she still wanted to do the triathlon. I couldn't believe that she finished. She's amazing!!! I am not sure I am that strong. But after training she really wanted to do this. So way to go Sheena.

Thanks to my family for supporting me during this training and during the actual event. It was fun to see my kids, husband, and parents at the finish line. YEAH!!!
