after a month of training with some amazing girls, i completed my first tri! a 300m swim, 11.2 mile ride, and 2 mile run in an hour and 24 minutes! the morning started off a little rocky . . . POURING rain and rather chilly temps. we were soaking wet . . . and freezing cold before anything even got started. there was a 30 minute delay for lightning . . . and then it was ON! the swim was awesome - better than any open water practice i had had! the bike was tough . . . hilly and wet to say the least! at every point i was getting tired, someone along the way said something encouraging. it was really cool. the run was tough . . . only 2 miles, but through a wet field, mulch, rough pavement, and a little mud . . . not exactly what i had been practicing with! it was such an amazing feeling to cross the finish line. what an amazing morning. the littles and hubby cheered me along all the way! seeing their bright yellow shirts made me smile! can't wait for the next challenge!
