My Very First Triathlon!

Ok, so I got this crazy idea to do a triathlon.  I blame my friend Heather for this.  So, on Saturday, Heather, Natalie, and myself participated in the Bondstock triathlon.  The length of this event was 250m swimming, 9k biking, and 2k running.  In all it wasn't a very long triathlon, but for someone like me who isn't in great shape and has never done anything like this, I was very nervous.  In the end it took me a little less then 40 minutes to finish which put me in 32nd place out of 55 participants.  I was very proud of myself, to be honest.  Hopefully, I will be competing in a full length triathlon in about 6 weeks; so wish me luck!
6 a.m. getting ready to check in

I finished!  And don't worry, I am actually wearing spandex...

The triathletes!


Proof of how red I get when I exercise.  Oh, and I also lost my name and number half way through the race so I was the nameless competitor


I felt very accomplished after the race and hope I am able to do another one!
