I Did It!

I'm a triathlete! I've got photos and a story to come soon. I've been unable to put it all together yet, but have no fear, I crossed the finish line. It was a huge personal success, and I did better than expected. All my efforts had a great pay off.

The next race is on June 7th, so I'm playing with my workout schedule. Trying to recover from my last race, keep my fitness up and fine tune a few things, and then I have to taper again. After that, I step it up a lot! I'm doubling the distance I've been training for, and will begin training for an Olympic triathlon. Giggity, giggity!

UPDATE

Here are some pics of the Nu2Tri Graduation Triathlon! The race went great. I was 2nd out of the water (some fish beat me), but then my transition practice paid off, so I left and finished first on the bike, then I slowed down... alot on the run! I'm not a runner, but I still managed to sprint the last .5 mile or so!

Trying on my race belt to ensure it fits!

On your marks!!!! I almost started getting sick, but then realized I needed to start swimming. I'm in the yellow, the girl in the lane farther from me is the one that passed me... she never came to any of our swims, so I didn't even see it coming!

No, the women on the bikes are NOT in the race, but they did enjoy slowly riding through the middle of the course.... see me checking behind me to see how close the next cyclist is!

The final sprint!
