Tri for the Cure

So it is official....I completed my first triathlon! I have to admit I feel like more of an athlete now then in any of my other races. There is just something about knowing that you can do not just running, but biking and swimming as well. I would not say that I am that great at any of them, but it is all about finishing and trying your best. I am glad I started out with this race - short and all women. It was a 400 m swim, 9 mile bike and 2 mile run. I started Saturday out at Saguaro Lake to do a triathlon clinic. I had the chance to practice transitions - though I am still not good at getting in open water! Then this morning I had to be there no later than 5:30am am to set up my transition. The issue was that since the race in the pool, my estimated start time was not until 4 hours later. They started WAY late so instead I did not get in until almost 11! I know now that I need to focus more on swimming. However on the bike, taking my tri spin class must have paid off since I was actually catching up with many girls. Overall I loved the experience and looking foward to my next triathlon! I am so proud of us Kelly!
