Triathlon

The winner! I am holding my medal in my right hand (You'll have to excuse my boasting, I've never won anything before).
Here is another great view of my medal.
I had so much fun doing this sprint triathlon, I think this could be addicting. The distances were not very far, it was only a 500 meter swim, 12 mile bike ride and 5K run, but I am still proud of myself. I finished better than expected (even with my slow transition times). With a time of 1hr 18min and 3 secomds, I was first place in the novice group, fourth in my age group and twenty fourth over all. There were four hundred in the race, half of them women and I can't wait to do another one.

Now THAT is something to write home about Sarah! I can't believe you did a triathlon! Very impressive. It takes a ton of work (and courage and time and tenacity etc, etc) to do something like that. I will be telling everyone that my sister took first place in the novice category. Wow.

You go girl- I am so proud of you! I can't believe you didn't train. I can't wait to see what you can do when you actually work at it.
