So this is it! I did it! It didn't really hit me that I finished until the drive home. This was the best thing I have ever done for myself in my LIFE. I had so much fun training, pushing, and actually racing. I ended up not doing as well as I thought I might, but for a first time, I am really proud of myself. I got 144 out 198 placement in the overall female division. Top 72% and finished in 2 hours 1 minute and 33 seconds. My goal now is to finish within 1 hour and 45 minutes. I saw that the majority of the females my age finished within that time and I HAVE to get up to that time. I am so addicted to working out and biking and triathlons now! Best. Thing. Ever.
Here are some pics:
Everyone getting ready to go.
Daddy and I about to get in the water. I was so nervous!!!
See me in the very front? Haha, just kidding!
Transition time! I kind of rocked on the transition between biking and running...One minute. Beat THAT. Well, I'm sure a lot of people did, actually, beat it.
My dad finishing
Me finishing!!! I felt like I was going to die! But it was awesome. The swim I felt was actually my best part. Weird.
Anyway, I suggest it for all to try at least once. I think I lost 11-12 pounds. I'm shooting for another 10 pounds before March for the St George tri. I can't wait for that one!!!

You look AMAZING!!! Seriously, I was going to tell you at dinner last night how good you look...then again, you always do!
I can't believe people can do that. Good for you! You are incredible and I think it's even more amazing that you're going to do it AGAIN!
And you do look great.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I'm for sure I couldn't do it. Good luck with St. George.
Way to go! By the way that's totally hot.
