Race Day Pictures

Here we are after the race in the now empty transition area. We finished and have received our medals. It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait for my next race. Maybe a half marathon next. We finished in 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 10 seconds. Not bad for our first TRI.

This is a shot of the transition area prerace. It was a mad house. This is were you returned after each leg of the race to prepare for the next leg.
Here we before the race. The water looks so inviting doesn't it. It was 77 degrees the morning of the race.

Finished!!!!!!

I made it. We finished the race successfully. We felt great at the end and now I have a hot shower calling my name then a nap. More to come later including pics.

12 hours and Counting

In 12 hours I should be entering the water to begin the first lag of my triathlon. I am so excited, I have my bag packed and tri-suit laid out. I have a friend coming over to give my bike a once over and then I am going to hit the sack. I am excited and nervous all at once. I have to trust my training and will be successful.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. I will hear your cheers while competing tomorrow.
