My first triathlon

I did a sprint triathlon last Saturday in Pima,Thatcher,Safford. The distances were 625 yd swim, 15 mile bike, and 3 mile run. I did good on the swim (2nd place), pretty good on the bike ride, and not too good on the run. I was too tired and hot by the time I got to the run, and I had to walk a lot. I got 16th place overall out of 33 women, and 5th in my age group out of 12 women. My time was 1 hour 50 minutes. I was disappointed because my goal was to get 10th place, but the running really killed me. I had fun though, and am excited to do another one.


I had the best cheering section all along the way:


Dave, the kids, my mom, Melissa, Dave's mom, dad, and brother
