The operative word there is COMPLETED. I did a triathlon. It was awesome.
Now, before you start thinking I'm now a super athlete (ha), let me give a few more details. It was a sprint triathlon (so half the length of an olympic traithlon), it was with my ward so there were like 10 of us total and it was totally low key and finally, I came in dead last.
No super athlete here! :)
And now for the excuses for WHY I came in dead last (this is mostly for my benefit - to make me feel better...): I basically hadn't exercised for 2 years, I only trained for 10 weeks and in that 10 weeks, one week we had family in town and another week I was sick.
So anyway, I'm not sharing my times, but I will share a couple of pictures.
The whole group, pre-race
On your mark, get set...
That's me in the red cap in the front. I was actually in the lead for the first 400 yards and in a close 2nd for the rest of the swimming...
...it was the biking...
...and running that did me in.
But I finished!
Thanks to Nate and Karly for being there to support me and Jordan and Paige for coming to the finish line!
And thanks IHOP for existing so you could be my reward! :)
