I'm finally getting around to posting about my triathlon I competed in a month ago. It was amazing! Here I am right before the race with my cousin.
Most triathlons are in open water, but I decided to do my first one in a pool. I am not a strong swimmer and am certainly not fast. I was worried I might get tired and have to back stroke, but I was able to achieve my goal of doing it all on my front, either freestyle or breast stroke.
The bike ride was my favorite part: 12.1 miles through beautiful Cache Valley.
This is moments before I crossed the finish line!
It may have only been a sprint (half the Olympic distance), but it was a great start. It was really so much fun and I wasn't even sore afterwards; I surely should have pushed myself harder. I definitely want to do another triathlon and hope to do the Cache Valley Sprint again next year! We're officially triathletes!
You are truly an amazing inspiration! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome! I set goals today to lose some of my weight. I am at 172 lbs right now. I feel it will never happen. I updated an old running blog to help me. Come read along if you feel inclined and be a cheerleader for me! http://runlaura.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYou really inspire me. I think of you when I don't want to work out and a few times I get out of bed and get to work. I just need it to be completely consistent and not once a week.
