Y-Not Triathlon

On August 7th I ran in a small triathlon. I had tons of fun doing it plus it was a good challenge for me as I prepared for it. Overall the actual race was a new, hard, and fun experience. I did it with my sister-in-law Rachelle, her sister Lindsay, and my good friend Julie Carroll. It consisted of a 1/4 mile swim, a 6 mile bike ride, and a 2 mile run. It was such a great experience! The swim part was the most nerve racking for me, but it went a lot better than I had anticipated even though I still swam it slow. Here are a few pictures from the event.

We swam a couple practice swims up at Spring Shores. Here Mylee is sporting the swim cap and goggles, our future triathlete!

Our friends Kyle, Cara and their son Milo came up to swim it once with us. Here the guys are heading back to the cars. I thought it was a cute shot of them.

The four of us moments before the start of the race, wow were my nerves going! Left to Right: Rachelle, Lindsay, me, and Julie

Just finishing the swim and so glad to have made it to this point of the race!

Here I am running at the very end of the race.

They had different kinds of food for us to eat at the end of the race. All I wanted was their grapes, bananas and water. I kept going back for more. Here I am after it was over. It felt so good to be done with the race although I loved doing it. The race didn't start until 7:30 at night, and so I had all day to be nervous and think about it!!
