Well, there is a first time for everything and Saturday was our my first triathlon. It was a mini one that we decided to do in order to practice for our real one. Don't worry, this one felt real enough. I was nervous, and it nearly killed me. Maybe that's because we were trying to win, not just finish. It was a lot of fun and gave us a good idea of how prepared we are for the longer distances.
It was still pretty cold and we didn't start until 10:00am. But getting on a bike all wet equals cold! If you would like a challenge I would say try and put on bike short while wet and in a hurry.
The run was the hardest part. It is the weirdest feeling to get off the bike and try and convince your legs to run.
Oh, I don't think I could have done it without my biggest fan. He is even holding a bell to ring. I have to say my crowning moment was crossing the finish line and hearing, "there's your mom! Way to go!" I thought, wow I am a MOM and I just did a triathlon, I am proud of myself. Anyway, it was just what we needed to stay motivated and rededicate ourselves to training.

Oh my word, you ROCK! I'm so proud of you. You look amazing and I'm sure feel amazing...you ARE amazing! Thanks for being such an inspiration to me!
NICE WORK!!! Just imagine a big huge hug from me. I'm so proud of you. It looks like you did an amazing job and you look fantastic- you're a natural. I'm excited to see you this weekend and hear more about it. Is that a finisher's medal, or did you place?
You are so awesome!! It looked like a lot of fun. You look so official in all of your gear. I bet Talmage was so proud of his mom.
You're a stud and have inspired me! Good for you!!
