My Tri

Yesterday, I did my first tri after having Jonathan and Sarah I was very nervous and not sure if I was fit enough to do it! However things went great! It was so nice cause it was just down the street from our house. I rode my bike there.

This is arriving at the TRI
The kids had to wake up early, and you can tell by there faces!
Walking over to the group meeting to discuss the course. When they were discussing the swim, I thought it looked longer then I previously remember. But it was nice we biked in our neighborhood, and the run was right around the park!

Right before getting in the cold water!

That's me in the blue cap!

Seeing Dave in the water. The hardest part of the tri is the swim part. With that said, there were three buoys that I had to pass and getting to the first buoy I panic a little and was unsure of if I could do it, I also got a little light headed. But, after passing the the first orange buoy and seeing where the end was I was okay. With swimming in open water you have to check yourself every few strokes to make sure that you are heading in the right direction!

My official cheerleaders, along with Grammy, Papa and Jonathan!

Doing my best!

Finally Done

Striping off my wetsuit, and preparing to go into my bike leg!

The transition area!

So cute!

The Bike leg! During the bike leg there was a girl that I kept racing back and forth. She would try to pass me and then I would pass her. Well, in the transition from Bike to Run. She beat me out to the run cause she didn't have to change her shoes. But I soon caught up to her and passed her on the run. Below is me passing her!

It was fun to see all my "Cheerleaders" throughout the course. It made me happy. It also felt good to be challenged physically and to be a little competitive in passing people on the bike and run!

Finishing!

I did better then I thought I would!

Jonathan missed me and wanted to right after I was done!

After the race I rode back home, I felt good but very tried! Dave is going to do one next year, which I am very excited for. We loved this one cause it was so close- during the bike leg my Grandparents cheered me on I loved it! Thanks everyone for all your support!
