I Survived!

After 5 months of training the big day of the triathlon finally arrived. I am so glad that Sarah and I decided to do this race, it was worth all the days of rearranging our schedules just to get a swim or a run in. The swim was probably my favorite part, but the bike and run were a challenge since we had to bike and run up huge hills twice...yuck! This is not the most attractive picture, but swimming is just not very flattering. lol
This is the transition stage where we are trying to get all our bike gear on.

This is running to the finish line!!! That was the best part, just to know I was done.

I think I will probably do this race again next year so anyone who wants to give it a go let me know, it was a blast! Thanks Sarah for being the best training partner ever! You rocked!

Wow! Alisha you are my hero. I always blame my kids for my lack of excercise in my life. I guess I can't use that excuse anymore, huh? That is awesome you did it!

My favorite part about the triathlon was the drive up there!

Loved laughing to the point of "almost" peeing my trishorts...and when you almost ran into "miss fancy pants."

Thanks for the memories.

I am so proud of you. You are so amazing!!! I have to live through you vicariously because I don't know if I could train for that again but remind me next summer and maybe I will have caught up on sleep by then. You go girl!!!
