Triathlon: Complete

Well, we did it! We both finished under 2 hours. I was completely oblivious to how much time a sprint tri should take. I know I really had difficulty in the swim. I just got into the pool this past Wednesday, so I know in the future I'll prepare more for this portion. Regardless, I did make up for it in the run. I finished 6th overall for my age group when the running race times were released! Here's the transition area we ran to to start the bike portion. Finally! A pic of me running...thanks to my in-laws who were there. Asher was able to see mommy and daddy race with them there. My brother/sister in-law showed up too. It's always nice to have family support.
We did it! Below is a pic of my co-worker Michelle and I. It was so nice do do this with a friend close by...even though she kicked my butt in the swim. Posing as the #1 finisher... Asher is ready for us to sign us up for his first race! Haha. The youngest we saw participating was 9 years old. So if Asher is interested, we can all do it together one day...no pressure, right?

WOW, WOW, WOW! That is freaking awesome! I can't IMAGINE doing one of those, ha. We just did our 1st 5K and that was ENOUGH. My hubby ran the whole thing, but because Cade could only run the 1st mile...we walked the rest. I was proud of my 6 year old for just finishing though. You rock!
