I DID IT! My goal was to accomplish this before the age of 35, and I am so proud to say I did it. This is my second attempt, my first one I "crashed and burned", okay so literally my tire got caught on a rainy cold day in the Tri-met track on the streets of downtown Portland while I was testing out my clips the day before the June 4th Tri. I had to take a month of but I did go to support my friends, it was so hard because of all the training I had done. I hit head first and had a concussion, not pretty.
Second try, I was so anxious yet so excited. Nothing was going to stop me now. I have met some amazing friends that have similar interests, and I am thrilled that physical fitness happens to be one of them. If it wasn't for these girls I may have not done this Tri. Anyway today marks another milestone. 1/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 5K run = 1 hour 27 min. Not bad for my first I think. I will most likely be soar tomorrow, but will enjoy a beer this evening as we are celebrating our accomplishment!
