1st Triathlon

I am now officially hooked on triathlons. My first one was great...but very tiring. I love to push my body to do something hard, and then feel the pain for the next two days. Sounds a little demented, but it is true. I keep thinking of things I could have done to make my time a little faster. One is to work on my running (I am not a strong runner), another is to get some tri clothes (expensive!), and last I need to learn to ride my bike w/o the gloves and pads so I can transition faster. I hope I do one or two of these every year until I am about 65! :)



We did a 400 Meter swim in this pool.



The transition and bike area. The bikes are squished in there pretty tight.



Starting to line up for the run. Typically you swim first but this was a backwards tri.



Running....did I mention my running is terrible? I dare say it is my worst of the three sports.

My thoughts right after the tri. After resting for a couple of hours I started looking online for another one I could sign up for in the fall.

Go Heidi I had no idea you were doing triathalons! Good for you! It is fun to push yourself but its also nice to vegg in front of the TV. We need to get together!
