Just Tri It!!!

Last week I did a mini women triathlon!!! It was so much fun!!!! I wish I would have trained more for it, but it seemed like I never had time. But it was a really mini race. No timer, no age group,you did your own thing. You swam 100 yd. in the lake. Which we were a little nervous would be cold. The temp. was 66 when I left for the race. In fact a lady asked the guy in charge if the lake was heated, and the guy told us.."Yes, all the guys here jumped in the lake and "did their thing" to warm it up for you!" Now, that really made me want to jump in that lake a swim. Now this was the first time I had done any swimming in at least 3 years!!! I was harder than I thought, but wasn't too bad. After that we biked. You got to pick 2,4, or 6 miles. Now, the first time I pulled out my bike in three year was the Thursday before the race. So during the race my rear was still really sore. I wish I would have trained more. So you did a 2 mile loop and you got to decide how many times you wanted to ride it. I'm ashamed to say that I only rode it once. I was planning on more, but I was also planning one my rear not being sore! Of course they had a huge long hill, that half the people walked up. This thing lasted forever!!! Oh, and they also didn't tell you that from where you park your car to where you check in was 2 miles. You you biked 2 miles in before the race and 2 miles out after! So I did bike 6 miles total!!!! Notice that in the picture my hair is crazy!!! That's because it was also very windy! This picture was taken by the person that was parked next to me. I went to the race by myself, but I wanted at least one picture. So this was taken after the race. Then came the run. This was easy you got to pick again what distance you wanted to do. Either 1/2 mile, a mile, or 1 1/2 miles. I did the mile and a half. I was tired when I was done, but I have lots of fun. Between the bike and run I have to hit the restrooms, because being pregnant I have to go all the time!!! That was a big mistake! They stank so bad I almost lost my breakfast. It was bad!!! I am glad a didn't though, it would have made it hard to run on an empty stomach.
I had a lot of fun, but I wish I would have trained more! I am going to do it next year!! Plus, it make me want to try a long triathlon!!! So maybe after this baby comes out I'll do a marathon and a triathlon!!! um.... we'll see!!
