My First TRIATHALON



Ok so about 6 mos ago my friend Sara sent an email out about a Triathlon called Tri For The Cure. This is an all Women's annual Tri every April that raises money for Breast Cancer. Hello? Did I really need any more motivation to get involved? It was a 400 meter swim, an 8 mile bike ride, and a 2.25 mile run to finish it off. We just completed it last week on April 19th! It was SO SO SO much fun! My goal was to finish in 1 hour 30 minutes and I finished in 1 hour 23 minutes! Yeah!!! Here are some photos of the Triathlon.

I loved EVERY minute of it and cant WAIT to do more. I think I might be addicted. If I didn't already have a 60 mile Breast Cancer Walk (Nov) and a half marathon on my plate (Jan) I may just try to squeeze in a few more. We shall see. Jimmy and the girls were waiting for me at the finish line and Ella was screaming "Mommy you ran the race". It was so cute! Anyone want to TRI to join me next April? Take a look at my cool souvenir medal below! =)
