Swim Bike Run

We did it, we finished our first Triathlon. We entered the St. George Tri back in December and have trained since then, what an experience! First of all, we had no idea what we were getting our selves into!! This course was so hard and then on top of that we had hurricane like conditions. Well, the wind was like 45 mph or more. They had to cancel our sprint swim, because of the white caps and wind. I was glad and disappointed at the same time. I kept telling myself that I could do it, but when a I saw the rescue boats coming in with a lot of people, I got a little freaked out. So we started off on the bike, what an experience that was in head wind going up such a steep hill and then having to come back down that steep hill. The run was in sand the whole way and there was another huge hill that we had to climb. I was eating people's dust the whole way and got the dry heaves, but I didn't actually throw up. We crossed the finish line together and were proud that we actually finished. Another one in the future? We are already talking about it. We will see. For those of you who are asking who I did this with, it is my dear friend and next door neighbor Emery. I couldn't have done it without her.
