The Mighty Triathlon

Krista, a friend from my childhood/high school/for life, found this great triathlon for us in Shrewbury, Pennsylvania. We met there that morning to complete. Our goal was truly to just finish and not in an EMS vehicle. That morning it was POURING. You could not imagine how wet it was. When you went outside, your clothes were soaked just going from the car to the building. It was a lighter rain while we were competing, but everything was soggy especially when we were running on grass. My shoes and legs/pants have never felt so water logged. Anyways, we did it. We finished the 500 yard swim, 15.2 mile bike ride (It was all up and down. I used my lowest gear on most hills like you have to use it in Moab. I do not usually us it ever when biking around Logan or Alexandria. It was surprisingly steep and hilly.), and the 2 mile run. I was very careful not to overexert myself because the baby was obviously more important than the race. I ended up finishing 2nd for my age group and Krista was amazing also even though she won't admit it, but she finished a close 6th! So I got the cute trophy. When I asked if I could get it before they were handing them out, the lady asked, "It is the 19 and under group?" We had a great time and THE BEST CHEERING GROUP who woke up at 4:40 am.
