You might remember that I did my first triathlon last summer (click here).
I really enjoyed it and since getting my new bike for Christmas, I have
been thinking about doing another one. In February, I started a
triathlon training class at our YMCA and it ended today with our class
competing in the Tri the Rock triathlon.
It was longer
than the one I did last year (a 500m swim, 18 mile bike, and 5K run vs a
225m swim, 10 mile bike, and 2 mile run) and harder but I was so much
better prepared. Well, I say prepared, but in actuality I (and the rest
of my class) was prepared to do a 400m swim and 15 mile bike ride as
their website advertised...we were all thrown a bit today when we heard
that the distances were actually further than we thought. But no one
chickened out and we all finished!
I finished in 2 hours
and 3 minutes. I could not have done it without Robbie's support
during my training and today at the race. He had a bucket personalized
for me and made t-shirts for the family again this year. Also, having
my family (Mom, Dad, my aunt, as well as Robbie and the girls) there
cheering me on was great!
