Triathalon

I didn't even mention my triathalon that Ben and I did at the beginning of summer! We swam 100 meters, biked 14 miles, and ran a 5K. It was at Lake Pleasant and the weather was great! I sailed through the swim, then lost a lot of time on the bike, but then had a good run. My time was just over 2 1/2 hours, slower than I wanted, but at least I finished. The bike portion was a lot of up hill, and it about killed me. I had to get off and push my bike up 3 hills, I was not ready for that. Donny Whetten and Darcey Whiting did it with us. I had so much fun training with Ben. We get up and run or bike in the morning before he goes to work. I usually end up at the YMCA to do my swimming but we went to the lake a few times to swim too. It was the most fun because we did it together, not because we though we would win. My siblings have been inspired, I guess, and they are going to join me at our next race in September. That will make it more fun, and I might even be able to challenge someone! You hear me Brittany, Candice, and Melissa? It's on. We'll never beat Ben or Donny, but I think this 36 year old can give her younger sisters a run for their money. I know I'll never beat Darcey:)
