We did it! My sister Nicole and I ran in our first triathlon this past weekend. Okay, so maybe it was a mini triathlon. Oh, who am I kidding, it was a mini sprint triathlon. But either way, we did it. And I am proud of us. We swam. 
We biked. 
We ran.
We biked. We ran.
We’d been training for 7 weeks basically so we wouldn’t drowned in the pool or tip over on our bikes or pass out on the run before the finish line. And we didn’t do any of those things!! We did it! I may have been the one wearing my Shade swimsuit, the dork with the earplugs in her ear so the water wouldn't get in, the one riding her mountain bike rather than a street bike, practically the only one without the "tri" apparel of biker shorts, not to mention how much of an idiot I felt like with that ridiculous helmet, but I finished. My goal was to do it under and hour and five minutes, and I did it under an hour! Yipee! I finished about the middle of the pack and guess what, that was good enough to earn me a medal becasue I placed in my division!
So, the funny friend we made before the race who I thought was on crack when he told us after we finished we would be addicted to these tri's may not have been totally off after all. It was pretty amazing to finish after working so hard and to have your family and friends there cheering you on. Thanks Nicole for this awesome memory!! I love you!

So fun! I had to laugh because my 1st triathlon I used a mountain bike as well. I got addicted and quickly bought a road bike :) Good job!

Just yesterday I went to this Total Body Conditioning class at the gym and it kicked my tail end!
