I Did It! Again!

I received the second notch on my triathlon belt on Saturday. We headed up to Norfolk, NE for this one. It was 500 yard swim, 10 mile bike, 2.5 mile run. The one I did last month had about 40 people, this one had over 200! It was crazy! Here are some pictures:

Here I go Video of me swimming


Wayne wasn't able to get a picture of me riding out on the bike, so this is the marked path to start the bike ride


Me coming in on the bike


As you can see I didn't lose any weight in this training process

video of the finish Wayne forgot to turn the camera off so you can hear me say, "I'm gonna die". HA--funny.

Just posing at the end of it all.


It was very fun. With Parker now out of school, I had a hard time keeping up my training schedule the past couple of weeks, so I didn't feel as good during this race, but I still was happy with the end result. Fun stuff!

Just can't imagine that being fun. It doesn't look fun. A little swimming. A little biking. A little jogging. All slowly. That might be fun. But altogether, going fast? And you probably had to pay for the privilege too! Can't imagine.

I think that should be "Fun Stuff?" But glad you enjoy it. And glad I have no desire to do it. Congrats!

You're amazing!! I could never do the swim part, but the rest would be great. You are an inspiration to me...I don't know how you train for something like that with 3 boys! You go girl!
