I Did It!!!

So my goal was to finish under two hours and I did it in 1 hour and 38 minutes!! The first event was swimming 300 meters, which was the hardest for me, especially since the pool there was twice as long as the one we'd practiced in. I did that in 13+ minuets, then the first transition took 4+ minutes to the bikes. The bike course had a killer uphill, then a long flat/ gradual incline stretch, then a great downhill at the end, we did that loop twice for a total of 11.4 miles, which I did in 50+ minutes. Then transition #2 in 50 seconds, and back to the loop for the run, which was half the loop, still including the killer uphill at the beginning, and great downhill at the end, for 3.1ish miles, which I ran in 29 minutes, a personal best!
So I'm still alive and ready for our well earned trip to Hawaii, in 15 days, not that I'm counting, Aloha!!

What Did I Do?!

For some, who might not have heard, I let my insane friend Emily talk me into signing up, paying for, and training for a session of pure torture, also known as a triathlon. It's the Women of Steel tri, this coming Saturday in American Fork, and i am SO nervous!!! At first I thought if nothing else it would help me loose post baby weight and get me swimsuit ready for our Hawaii trip in 21 days, not that I'm counting down. Any way, I haven't lost weight (which is apparently normal when training for a triathlon, but I have lost inches! :) and now I'm just hoping I will be alive to go to Hawaii! Nate, if I die on Saturday, you have my permission to take any of the widows in our ward, over eighty, in my place.
