I did my first triathlon this spring! All of the details lined up so I took the time to do some training and decided it was now or never. I did some swimming in our local rec pool, but I am not a swimmer at all! I am not an elite athlete, but I did it and am very happy with my accomplishment.
Getting my transition area set up
Although I am smiling, I was an anxious, nervous disaster. And wet suits are not flattering. I might have turned around and left had it not been for Peter standing next to me, telling me I can do it.
I was so happy that I survived the swim, I stood up and shouted "I'm alive"! That is a real smile!
Off to the bike portion, where I did make up some time after a not-so-impressive swim.
Finishing the 5k at the end. SUPER happy to have finished! The run was a closed course except for the adjacent homeowners, so I did stop at a little kids lemonade stand. They were too cute and didn't have many customers!
