I DID IT!!!!

To all YOU amazing mothers... including my mother, my step mother & mother in law...

HAPPY MOthers DAy!!!!

I DiD iT!!!!!

I completed my FIRST Sprint Triathlon Yesterday!

The race was exciting and so rewarding!

I have dreamed of competing in a triathlon for so many years and finally did it!

This however is not my last!

From the moment i signed up for the Tri ... those butterflies begun fluttering inside...

throughout my attempted training ( with two kids & MY schedule)

those butterflies continued to rage within me....

and then followed me to the race day!

After entering the water and pushing through the crowd of athletes the butterflies turned into a drive of competition.... I wanted to finish strong & I wanted to finish at my best!

Over all, out of 529 women I finished at 44

For my oldie age group 30-34

I placed 16/115

Not too shabby...

I am happy with my finish time of 1:31:17

NEXT time I hope to shave 10 mins. off my time!

Anyone up for a Triathlon in the next couple of months?????!

I was stoked... they called my name as I came running through the finish line.

I had to do a bit of hoot & hollering!

Finishing!!!
