  • I SURVIVED!

    i'm back from wildflower and my first sprint triathlon!  the photographers for wildflower were all over the course and managed to capture some really nice shots:

    but during the race, this is how i actually felt:  ouch.

     

    do i really run like that???

    so for the swim portion, we start in waves.. i was with the pink swimcaps, 3 minutes later the green caps take off and then 3 minutes after that, the white caps start...  notice in the picture of me getting out of the water:  yes, surrounded by green caps!  i was so tired at one point, i was doing the ol' backstroke and a swimmer in a white cap comes up and says, "good job!  you can do it!"  so encouraging.. guess she knew i needed it.  hehe.

    everyone was so great, i finished the race with a gal that wouldn't let me walk.. she's my hero!  albeit a little bossy.  and the orange slice at the end?  the best orange slice i've had in my entire life.
