Mother's Day Tri!

Race report!! The swim was very intimidating until I heard the bullhorn. As soon as I dove in, I was fine. Nobody kicked me and I'm pretty sure I didn't kick anybody either. :) I felt like I was SO.SLOW, but my parents said I was right in the middle and even passed some people from the first wave. ~8 minutes. I felt strong coming out of the water and passed several folks into the transition area. My T1 was pretty quick - in and out in 2:30. The bike was fun, but I heard "On your left!!!" about 600 times. I definitely need a real bike. My shining moment was getting passed by a 10-year-old. Beast mode... T2 was great - less than a minute!!! And the run was the best. I passed all those chicks who passed me on the bike, which felt great. My folks and Daniel were at the finish, but doug and Lia missed me cross by about 10 minutes. I'm pretty convinced I'll be doing another one soon. Super fun and super rewarding. And not nearly as taxing as a half marathon. I highly recommend it!

It's that time again!

It's that time again! In 10.5 hours, I'm going to attempt what I once believed impossible (and maybe even insane). I'll be diving in to Lake Houston at 7:04 tomorrow morning to take on my first triathlon. Prayers, positive thoughts, and support are appreciated, especially for calm nerves in the water! Thanks, y'all!
