Triathlon! Yeah Baby!





Billy and I signed up to do the Titanium Man Triathlon here in Kennewick. It was really fun to train for, but it kind of took over my life. I went to bed thinking about the transition from swim to bike and dreamt about biking hard and woke up thinking about the transition from bike to run. I love the workouts, but hate doing it over and over in my head.

Billy did amazing!!! He has improved so much in the swim and did great in the bike and rocked it on the run! I'm glad we had so many friends doing it with us. It was great to encourage each other all along the way. Great job Annette, Jacob, Sonja, Cory, Terry, Jared, and Eric!!!

I liked the swim, loved the bike, and thought the run was WAY too long! I just wanted to be done at mile 2 and we had to go 6.2 miles. Next time I think I want to try a Sprint Triathlon instead of the Olympic Distance. I am just not a runner. :)

Austin and Carson ran the last little bit with me. They were so sweet to come out and support us. Thanks Penny for watching them, I loved having them there!! Thanks Lisa for watching Jax and supporting us!! It is so great to have such good friends!
Thanks Pam for the pics and yells and screams!Thanks Wendy for cheering everyone on...we need to hang out more!

Overall a fun time, and even better time training for it! Thanks again Annette and Sun!

I'm so glad its over... Although now instead of thinking about how it was gonna be, I keep replaying it my head... "why was I slower on my swim?" "Why did the transition from swim to bike take so long?" "Could I have run faster?"... blah blah blah... Oh well, next year I guess!

Way to go woman!!!! That is quite the accomplishment. You are such an example to me. I sure wish we lived near each other so you could light the fire under my butt!
