Two years after making a personal committment to myself to complete a triathlon...a pregnancy and broken elbow in between.... I did it! In retrospect, I should have been more nervous about the flippin' swim.
I panicked big time in the swim. I just couldn’t catch my breath. So, I was the last person out of the swim in my wave. Somehow I finished the swim in 22 minutes but I swear I felt I was in the water for an hour. I was the person who was floating on my back (sort of) while hanging close to the rope. Thank God for that rope! I made up a little for my super slow swim in the bike and run (which I was pleased with). Overall, it felt good. But, honestly, the swim was torture for me. Clearly I need a lot of work in the pool. I am definitely not a natural swimmer like Chris. Thank goodness the girls take after their dad!
Surprisingly, I wasn't very sore. Except for my knee caps! Strange, huh. M said I looked like an old lady trying to get down the stairs without too much moaning and screeching. Thanks for the reminder, M!
I will definitely do this race again next year but this time I will do myself a service and train better.
