I'm a Tri-athlete!! August 22, 2009




Go Mom! 


We started out with the swim - and I actually did pretty well!  If only the swim was last, I might have had a strong finish. 

I'm not sure who looks worse in their cap - it's got to be me!

Next came the bike - About 13.5 miles -  I should have just left the camelback, because I never could get it on right and never did get any water.  At least I held my own on the bike ride and didn't lose too much ground - sort of.

And then there was the run - a little over 3 miles - I was doomed from the begining because my legs felt like jello before I even got started.  I can say that after the bike ride I was so thirsty that I kept on going just to make it to the water stop at the half way mark.  The good news - I finished!  and afterwards I can still say I'm glad I did it.

Thank goodness for a wonderful fan club!!!



Look - I'm still smiling and everything - sure, we can smile now because WE DID IT!

When our kids are grown, we might be in a home for crazy old people, but we would love to have you come visit us - maybe play a little bridge! Would you still visit us even if we don't remember how to tie our own shoes?
