So this was back in the beginning of June....yes I am THAT far behind! My life has been exciting.....that is that!
And with this event I can cut a few things off the list:
First open water swim
First ankle tracker
First race bib
First event for fun
First bike ride in the foot hills
So I didn't even register for this.....until 2 weeks before the event....I just decided to go for it. I realized I haven't been really challenged in the last few years (other than the whole doing a million new things, but I am not doing too well with that one...) and I wanted to do something to push myself!
Triathlon has always been on that I wish I could but I can't list....why can't I? Is there a rule? NO! So I signed up had some crazy training and did it! My goal time was under 3 hours...and I came in just under 2.5. My swim time was amazing (I would have been incredibly disappointed if it wasn't) the bike....SO DIFFICULT! I know now there is a difference in road bikes (more on that another time soon) There were a lot more hills than I was even remotely prepared for...and a lot of power walking for the lovely run...but I DID IT! I felt amazing....I want to do it again and I think i have the Tri bug! (3 months later that is still my plan, my training has picked up, but I have yet to find an event that I can make it to)
The ankle thing was pretty cool....I was able to look up the splits online totally cool!
And the race bib? Very possibly keeping it FOREVER and I plan on accumulating a lot more over the next couple of years....very cool and exciting!
