The swim was extra salty and rough - everyone got kicked a couple of times I think, but I found my rhythm early on which helped. The cycle was HARD! I am not a good cyclist so this is where I got overtaken by most other people. The run was pretty tough after all of that but I managed to run flat out for the first half, had a 50m walking break and then ran the rest of the way to the end. Transitions were easier then I had imagined thank goodness, I was worried that everyone else was going to miraculously transition and leave me in the dust but I beat a heap of people out.
And now for show and tell... (And don't forget to check out the rest of the show and tell gang)
Setting up my bike in the transition area
All goggled up!
Starting to get nervous!
All over and done! 
Good for you! I am so impressed!

ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant. I am in awe of you!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I am a runner, but am quite sure I would drown if I attempted this. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo impressed. Way to go chica!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's incredible! You should be really proud of yourself. What an amazing achievement.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! Congratulations for completing the challenege... The time is not that important...If I were competing, you would ALWAYS win! :)
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed by people who do triathalons and marathons. What a great accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe. I don't even think I could swim the length of my bathtub these days!!!!
ReplyDeleteEVE
Go you!!! I really want to do a tri, but I'm a horrible swimmer. I'd never drown, but I'm not efficient at the strokes, and I'd take forever.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome! I've always wanted to do one of those...but I'm horribly out of shape now. A goal for the future, I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
What an awesome accomplishment! I don't know that I could ever do that! You should be very proud of yourself for this!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. What an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is the sense of accomplishment I referred to in my Share Southern Vermont show-and-tell!

Wow! Way to go! I'd love to complete a triathlon some day. For now, I'm just glad I made it through my Couch to 5K program. :)
