Triathlon Experience 2008

Kent competed in 2 triathlons last year and totally inspired me to try it. This year I completed in 2 triathlons in September. Here is my experience in numbers: 16 different outfits I tried on to try and make myself "look" like a triathlete 3 sick stomachs(mine and the other 2 new peoples' that were with me at the starting line) 2 skinned knees because I forgot to take my feet out of the toe clips on my bike at transition 13 times I asked myself "how much longer until the turn around for the bike to be halfway over?" 5 laps around Tech Campus that you have to keep up with 6 times I practiced swimming the backstroke before the 1st tri...big mistake All in all...it was the most challenging thing my body has done since childbirth and I loved it! Thanks Kent for all the motivation and inspiration and for getting me involved in this tri business. What a fun hobby to do with you and we get in shape at the same time! Sorry no pictures this season. Seeing how we both did the triathlon there was no one to photograph my helmet on backwards-ha! Lots of fun memories to commemorate my 1st "Tri" at this sport.
