Telos Timp Triathlon

I finished!!! yeah! I did my triathlon on Saturday and it was awesome! It was so hard and there were times that I thought I just wanted to quit, but I made it! At the end of the run we thought we were close to the finish line, but nooooo, we still had one loop to do around a park. It was like AHHHHH!!! NO!!! When we got on our bikes the route we did was a 2 loop set. The loop had a huge hill on it and the 1st time I couldn't get my gears figured out on my bike and therefore 1/2 way up the hill I had to get off and walk or fall over. I chose to walk about 20 feet uphill instead of falling off. Luckily on the 2nd loop I got my gears figured out and was able to stay on my bike. The swim was last in this triathlon, which I loved. It felt so good to get into the pool at the end. This was a great experience and I can't wait for another! My time was 1:30:38 This may seem long for some, but I was dang proud since I was planning on about 2 hrs total. The sense of accomplishment was so worth all the pain!

Yeeehaw girl!! Kudos to you for doing so great. I really want to do a triathalon, but I really need to learn to swim first - and finish the 10k I really want to do!
