I can't believe I did the whole thing!!!

Well, yesterday my daughter and I completed a duathlon. She has done several of these but for me it was the first. Yes, I had done the running leg of a sprint tri but I did ALL of this! Wow, I am still taking it all in. I finished under 2 hours so that made me very happy and I wasn't the last one to come in. It was very windy but beautiful. Thank goodness for the biking portion. I have only been running for 6 weeks so that was very sad on times but my biking made up for it. I passed somewhere between 10 and 20 people on the bike. I thank God for allowing me to do this as it is something I have longed to do ever since Abbie and Terry did their first last year. Oh, also Abbie took first in her age group (as always)!

You might be right, I might be crazy

Well, today is my last training run before my first ever duathlon (all by myself!!!!). I was supposed to run at my usual 5am but it was raining and a cold front had come through. I will run later today. Since the event is at 1:30pm it might be good that I run later. I am excited and nervous. I did a 15 mile bike ride yesterday in 58 minutes. Not great but it will do. My running will be iffy. I will fill you in on Monday. I could really use your prayers.

We did it!!!!

Well my hubby, son and I competed in our first sprint triathlon on Sunday. We came in 3rd in the coed teams and got some really neat towels. My hubby did the swimming, our son did the cycling, and I did the running. I am so glad we didn't go over the course before we did it as the running was uphill for the first half. I just started running 4 weeks ago and I have NOT run hills. I thought I was going to die. But this is just the beginning in 2 weeks I am going to do a duathlon. What was I thinking!!!! Oh well. Here are some pictures. The fat one is me.
