Julianne convinced me to do a Triathlon with her while she was up in Utah for the summer. I was hesitant at first, but figured, What the heck? You only live once right?
So... here it is, our First Triathlon Adventure.
Big Smiles before the race begins
500 Meter Swim
Transition Area
12.5 mile Bike Ride
(Jordan let me borrow his brand new road bike. It worked like a charm)
3.1 Mile Run
(alone: Very Easy... after a 12.5 mile bike ride: Very Hard)
WE DID IT!!! (1:44:13)
Thanks for pushing me to try new things Jules. You're awesome. I had so much fun, and was glad to have a buddy to do the race with.
*PS... me completing this race in one piece, and smiling is a complete miracle. 3 weeks ago, I crashed into a stupid metal pole on my bike with McKenzie as a witness (a LAUGHING witness mind you) and cracked my rib. It finally started feeling better the last few days, and it didn't give me any trouble on the race thank goodness. Then... 4 days ago I got a horrible cold. I haven't been able to train much this week because my throat has hurt so bad. I have been so worried I wouldn't be able to do the Tri. But... I woke up the morning of the race feeling great, and my throat didn't bother me the entire time.
Moral of the story... Miracles happen, prayers are answered, and I am one happy girl.
