This is year two of the triathlon. In my post last year, I said I would never do one again. But I did it anyway! Only this year I'm not pregnant so I did the Spring instead of the Beginner, so everything was double. It was an 800M swim (1/2 mile), 10 mile bike ride, and 5K run. Once again it was the biking that killed me. My friend let me use her bike so it was a little better, but not much. Here is a picture of us first thing in the morning. It was FREEZING outside!
And a picture of us after the race. The Hubby was there waiting for us at the finish line, but right before we actually finished, Scamper had to go potty (NOW!) so he had to hurry and take care of that. So he missed both of us crossing (we finished within 5 minutes of each other), but we still got a picture later.
I finished the swim in 9, the biking in 49, and the run in 24. With transitions (which I was pretty slow at, because I was frozen after my swim and couldn't get my pants and shoes on) I finished in 1:29. I am happy with that, but if you know anything about times you can tell I am a runner and not so much a biker or swimmer. Oh well. I finished!

You are one fast mama!
Wow!!! Great job! You are inspiring!
Awesome! Wow, you are WAY fast! You totally kick my trash running. And you're a fast swimmer too! (I have no idea about biking, but I assume you're being modest there too) I totally want to do a triathlon, but I don't want to swim in a lake. Yuck. And I don't have a bike. Hmm....maybe some day...
Last time I tried do run the mile back in college, it took me almost the whole hour. I am so lame and you are incredible! Way to go!
When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
