Triathlon

So I always knew that a triathlon consisted of swimming , biking, and running...however it was not until after I signed up for the "I tried a triathlon" that I realized for this mini thriathlon I had to do all of these events consecutively. It is ok that you are saying "seriously" or "duh " at the computer right now.

My goal for the triathlon was to finish, just finish. My secret goal was to not come in last. I am so happy to report that I accomplished both of my goals! :) I swam 250 yds., biked 6.5 miles, and ran 2.1 mile...consecutively I might add :) It was nice to push my body again. I haven 't had to or wanted to do that since high school. It was good to have to mentally push myself. Once you have swam and then biked your body is done, no more, lets go home. The beauty of it is that once you get off that bike you have to run 2 miles, poetic cruelty.

It felt so great to finish and to hear my dad yell "kick it in Alysha"!
