Triathlon



Last weekend I had the chance to participate in my first Triathlon. This all started a few months ago while trying to diet. After a month of strict dieting, with no results, I realized that I had to step things up a notch.
So, I began walking and bike riding with the girls for roughly 30 minutes every morning, (bike riding while pulling 50+ pounds is a good work out) and swimming 30 minutes each night. After about 2 months of this a friend of mine said, “You should do a Triathlon.” At the time I didn’t know what was involved with a triathlon so I went home and looked it up.
The next few days I took notice of my times and realized that I could do it. I found a triathlon that I was interested in doing but the date was only 2 months away. It didn’t look like I would make it due to other commitments, but I started training anyway.
We ended up working things out so that we could go. With only 3 weeks left, I got sick for a week, then went to DisneyLand, which only left one more week to train. It ended up working out. Although, I still never lost any weight. I had a good time and I really appreciate Rob and all his support is helping me accomplish this small feat.

That was NO small feat. I doubt that I will ever in my lifetime be able to say that I did a triathalon so kudos to you!
