tri again

I like when I can make wishes come true.

Picture it:
65 degrees with a slight breeze. The sun is coming up. Not a cloud in the sky.

And then,

a .93 mile swim
(I'm in there somewhere. There were 166 participants in the olympic distance.)






a 25 mile bike



and a 6.2 mile run


Not to mention a trainer an her supportive sister.



And a crew of supportive family.


Just to make a birthday wish come true.


Now the details.

I swam faster than I'd ever swam. I biked faster than I've biked before. I ran faster than I'd ran before. And it STILL took me a time of 3:10 to complete. However, I didn't come in last. I was 151. I passed three skinny folks on expensive bikes.

The last one exclaimed, "MOUNTAIN BIKE??"

I replied, "Hell yeah!"

My sister was kind enough to take many pictures of people fatter than I.

Though I should mention that this guy finished before me. His time was 2:49.

It was an awesome day. I loved it.

Thanks Addy!
