Tri- For The Cure!




Well for those of you who don't know, I competed in a sprint triathlon this past weekend. It was a great experience and I have learned a lot about biking and swimming in the process. I feel like I did pretty good for my first time. Of course my running was the best leg, my avg mile times were 8:48. There were times that I felt like I was barely inching a long, but I just kept going. There were almost 3,000 women who competed, and the Susan G. Koman foundation raised over $100,000 for finding a cure for breast cancer. Kelsey was there to support me and take pictures. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the swim), he wasn't fast enough to get pictures of the swim, or bike portion. I think I will have to try this triathlon stuff again it was pretty cool.

Is that a smile on your face when you're running in your last picture? haha. I NEVER smile when I run. Oh wait...I don't run. That's a good thing then. Way to go!
