Completed my first Sprint Triathlon!

Yay! I finished my first Sprint Triathlon!!

The race: 300 yd. swim, 14.5 mile bike, 3.2 mile run

My time: Swim - 6:33 Bike - 57:51 Run - 38:00 Total - 1:43:36
Jason's time: Swim - 4:55 Bike - 44:15 Run - 20:50 Total - 1:10:38

We both placed first in our age groups and got white visors that had "Tri 4 Fun" and 2008 embroidered on the side!!! Granted my age group only had 2 participants...and the other girl won overall female...but hey...I still got a cool visor!! =)

J and I headed down to Union last night and drove the bike course to see what we had ahead of us today. It was VERY hilly. My first thought...wow...what have I gotten myself into???

BUT...today was awesome. I really had a good time once I got over the initial nerves. We spent the night with my grandmother so that we wouldn't have to get up quite so early...5:45AM is not early right?!!

My grandmother got up too and fed us breakfast. We told her not to worry about getting up with us...but she wanted to make sure we had enough energy!! Then, Jason and I headed to the Union YMCA at 6:15AM to pick up our packs and set up.

Dodi and her boyfriend Vince came!! We were so excited that they came. They helped encourage us and take pictures. Thanks Dodi and Vince!!! I can't wait to see the pics and will upload them in the next few days. Dodi and I are planning on doing the Greenville Sprint Tri in August. Now that P90X is over...we have more time to devote specifically to tri training.

Until I get Dodi's pics...here are a few that my mom took:



After the tri...we headed back to my grandmother's and let the kids play in the pool. They had a ball:
