Bike:42:05
Run:26:52

Overall with transition...1:32 minutes
109 in my age group out of 477. I thought it was good. I did beat my time from last year by 6 minutes! Hubby was there taking pictures. The only thing he missed of me was the run...camera was on the wrong setting and before he could figure it out...I was finished. Oh well, next time.

Getting ready to bike out..... (1247)

"Tri" Like A Girl

Alyssa finished her first triathlon this morning. It was such a great experience for her. She tried her best and she finished. She completed the swim, bike, and run in 44:52. There were so many times during the race I felt so much emotion for her. I am very proud of what she did and look forward to many more.

Getting ready for the swim.

Way to go girl!!! So proud of you!

Tri Madness Weekend

I can't do a triathlon this weekend so instead my daughter is doing one for me. I so wish it was me too, but with the surgery the other day, I am out for a while. Oh well, I will be the biggest supporter of her tomorrow morning. Go A Go!!

She has been watching me for years racing and training, so she thought she needed to give it a try. She really hasn't been training, but she is physically fit and is in soccer. However, last night she did a 1.25 mile run in 8 min 55 seconds. So proud of her.

So, finally we gave in to her request and she will be competing in the the Jr Triathlon tomorrow morning here in Kenosha, Wisconsin at Pleasant Prairie Park~ Lake Andrea. She will be in the age group with 11-12 year olds. I am so excited for her. She has already written down a list of what to bring, eat and drink. How funny.

She will be swimming 200 meters, biking 5 miles, and running 1.2 miles. She has been working with P.. her friend(like her sister) for a while. P is doing the tri tomorrow as well.

I'll post some pics tomorrow and show everyone how she did.

Go Girls Go!! We are so proud!!
