Keeping this post super short because I am packing, cleaning, getting birth certificates last minute, and many other random things while I'm on vacation these next two weeks.
I FINISHED MY FIRST TRIATHLON ON SATURDAY!
The swim KICKED MY BUTT... not only because the waves were super choppy (and salty!), but because I swam perpendicular AWAY from the shore, twice when we were supposed to swim parallel. I finished the swim in about 18 minutes (including transitions).
The next part, the bike, was on road that was flat as a pancake, and I could not believe how my thighs were burning by mile 5.
The last part, the run, I am happy to say I completed within 26 minutes; that's the fastest I've ever run. Honestly, all I could think of was hurrying up to finish this race that was beating me up. That and pancakes.
This sprint triathlon was a reality check - I have a lot of work to do over the next four weeks. I have no idea how I'm going to do the NYC one, which is more than twice these distances.... wish me luck kids.
