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?????!
SWIM! +
Here we have the purple caps off for the .5 mile swim. I am somewhere in the crowd.
Running from the water to my bike.....
Still running, it was quite the jaunt from the lake
BIKE +Leaving the start of the 10 mile bike ride.......
Coming in to make transition......
RUN +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!!!

You rock! I love all the pics! My hubby is running his 1st triathlon (sprint) in a week and a half if you wanna come to Utah and run it with him;) As for me...I'll be happy to watch from the sidelines and cheer. Seeing your pics makes me so excited for him. Check out his blog, and you'll see why...http://my-journey-austin.blogspot.com/

Wow, just doesn't say enough, you are an amazing woman! I loved the pictures, I truly was so excited I couldn't help but get teary eyed. My amazing Marsha...Love you Lots!
Way to go!!! I remember my first triathlon and how crazy exciting it was! If you ever get the chance...make the trip to Burley for the Spudman, lots of fun. Though maybe I thought it was so great because it was my first one too! I'm doing it for the second time this summer. I've done a few others and I REALLY need to improve my swimming! I panic in the water (all in my head).
And get Aubrey on a bike and she'll never want to get off!
Congrats on your finish...you did great!
Marsha!!! Long time!! Congrats on your triathalon. I'm doing my 1st 1/2 marathon at the end of June. I'm very excited. Hope you don't. You have a cute family. I'll be visiting often.
Hope you don't mind. That's the word I forgot.
