One Triathlon Down!

Rachel, Katrina and I participated in the AF Women of Steel Sprint this morning.  It was the first one for both Katrina and I.  I had a great time.  I really enjoyed it.  The swimming on top of each other is a little ridiculous and I am horrible runner but otherwise it was a great event.  I loved doing it with Katrina and Rachel.  My Randy, Katrina's Ryan and Rachel's whole family were there to cheer us on!  You were the best! Thanks!

My goal was to finish somewhere in the middle of age groups.  In terms of time I finished almost exactly in the middle.  There was a 30 minute spread between first and last and I was 15 minutes behind the leader!   I came in 15th out of 25 in the 50-54 age group.  I was 6th in the swim, 8th on the bike and 21st on the run.  I have got to figure out how to run faster.  I feel like I am not moving forward when I run!  

 I plan on participating in the 6th Ward triathlon, a 5k at Disneyland Labor Day weekend and then doing the Women of Steel next year (it is a little spendy but I like having it just down the street!)  I thought it was a very well organized event.   Keep me posted on other fun events too!

I have posted pictures on my facebook page.  If you aren't my friend, look me up and request and then you can see the pics.  I will also post them here but NOT TONIGHT!  I am tired!

Thanks for all your help Richard and Rachel!  You are the best!
