On Sunday, myself and over 100 other women completed the mock triathlon that is hosted by Tri It For Life each year as part of the preparation process for new athletes. We began swimming the 250m at 0800 and proceeded directly to the transition and 9 mile bike ride, and on to the finale...the run. I was TOTALLY shocked when my dear hubby informed me that I finished in roughly an hour and 15 minutes. WHAT!? ME?! WHAT!!!
I must say........WE ALL ROCKED IT!!!!! Putting all three events together was a totally awesome experience! The water was as cold as who-did-it-and-why, I about wrecked my bike when a bug flew in my eye, and the 2 mile run seemed much longer than the 3.1 miles I am used to running at 5am every Monday and Friday.......
But BOY! The finish line was a thing of beauty and to see my biggest fan/husband/friend and partner in crime at the finish line waiting for me was the best treat EVER! I was so happy to see Jeff that I didn't really know what to do with myself! He was with me the WHOLE time.....he motivated me, encouraged me, laughed with me, pick on me, and stood in the hot sun to photograph me........I think I'm in love!!!!
Be sure to stop by my gallery to see more shots my main squeeze took....just note, there's lots of pink, black, and white in them! It was really great to see everyone and a real treat to have the Powerade Zero folks out there to help us replenish.
I think I can speak for the most of us when I say C'MON SEPT 25TH!!!!!! We've got our warfaces on and are getting ready for ya!!!!! We're cranking up the training!
