TO TRI OR NOT TO TRI...

For the past few years I have watched and cheered on friends in some of our local triathlons. All the time thinking I could do this, can't I?? So this year I stayed up till midnight in October to sign up for the the sprint triathlon that takes place right out my back door. By 12:10 a.m. I was signed up and I was in!! That was the first step, now I had to actually do it. AND I DID!!!!

With much support and some training that had to be fit in between my families schedules I accomplished my goal for the summer and had a great time doing it. It was so great to see almost 500 women all there to have a good time and meet those goals we always have in the back of our minds.

1/3 of a mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run later I was a Valley Girl Triathlete. I think I am ready to sign up for another one. Maybe even a longer one next year!!

Of course I can't leave out a little about my eight year old inspiration that completed her 3rd triathlon this year. She never fails to amaze me. She does make it look easy.

I think if I had to go head to head with her in a swim, she may win!!!

Now that I am done with my triathlon its back to the mommy marathon. There is allergist appts...ortho appts...and Makena starts a softball tournament today!!!!
