Triathletes Rock!

Triathletes Rock! And I am not just saying that since I just did a triathlon. Okay, maybe I am. It was tough, and anyone who says its easy is crazy! You have to be in pretty good shape or just have an awesome mental ability to drive yourself to do one. I think I had a little of each so that was helpful to me, but it was still hard. I really enjoyed it though. Minus the swimming--which was torture for me because I don't swim (I just did the back stroke and made it okay, but I'm sure people were laughing because it took me twice the time it took most people to swim--but who cares?! I was just out to have fun and use this as just another training day for our marathon that is coming up in a few weeks.)---I loved the biking and running. Maybe someday I'll get a fast bike or at least slick tires so I can be good a that part. And by the time I got to the running portion, my legs felt pretty dead (like I had already ran 18 or so miles), but I made it and even past a few people on the way! I'm not sure of my time and I'm not even sure I want to know...a little over 2 hours I think though. I finished and that is all that matters to me! (because I really thought about quitting after the first lap of swimming!) I am glad my running buddy MC talked me into doing it though. It was a cool experience!
