My 1st Triathlon
I've always wanted to compete in a traditional triathlon. (I say traditional because I did a winter tri years ago). Anyway, 2 months ago a friend of mine told me that I should train for a triathlon this year. I really thought there was no way, but she assured me I could do it. I knew I could do the running and the biking, but I am not a good swimmer. However, I just happened to be married to a man that swims and is a dang good swimmer I might add. (stay tuned for his 3 mile open water swim this weekend). Anyway, long story short, I had such a blast competing in this race and really look forward to doing some further races in the future.
