Triathlon for the Cure Benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation - TriathlonMini Sprint

Though I had been telling myself not to for months, I panicked pretty quickly into it. There was a very sweet lady, #22, who reassured me everything was OK and that I could swim with her since she was a slow swimmer. She led us BOPers and would shout out to us if we were going too far out or too far in. God bless that woman and her heart.

Besides being close by people occasionally and hearing #22's guiding voice, I could not believe how lonely I felt out there. It seemed so quiet...so vast.

Wear my contacts, use anti-fog solution for my goggles and practice, practice, practice.

This went very smoothly, but it felt like I went faster than my time reflects.

Wear a tri suit.

I was so excited to start this segment. The course was similar to the terrain on which I'd been training so I was prepared in that regard. Though, of course, everyone wants to go faster, given how little I trained and that this was my first tri, I was very pleased with my performance.

I need more techie bike equipment.

Went fast, I thought.

Wear a tri suit.

Who knew a few months ago this would be my favorite of the three. I enjoyed the run (minus the mud puddles) and the 2 miles didn't seem long at all.

Work on decreasing my minutes per mile.

None.


Not training enough.


Loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it!!!! Though I knew I'd be a BOPer, I'm so glad I did this. I can now really train for another one in September.
