My first tri!

A couple of weekends ago, I participated in my first triathlon.  I thought that it went well for my first one, and it was really a lot of fun.  Challenging, yes, but something that I definitely plan on doing again.  Albert went along with me for support (it was an all female event, plus he doesn't really like swimming anyway), and it was awesome to be able to have him cheering me on in between events.  Here are some pictures from that morning.

Waiting nervously for it to start

Ready for the swim with my number on my arm

And I'm off!

Running up the pier after the swim (I actually placed third in my age group for the swim)  :)

Getting ready for the bike





And finally, heading off for the run

Coming in to the finish!

 


Definitely a great experience!
