This past weekend I completed my first Triathlon.
I have never really even thought about doing one, but some of the friends that I have made in our new ward do them and I couldn't resist trying one.
Of course I convinced Scott and Autumn that they had to do it with me.
We did the sprint course (750 meter swim/ 12 mile bike/ 3.2 mile run)
at Echo Reservoir near Park City.
I was so nervous about the swim, for good reason... it was so hard.
I felt that I had trained well and had swam in Utah Lake a few times, but it did not prepare me for the panic that I felt with so many people swimming at the same time. It felt like I was swimming so slow.
Scott felt the same way about the swim and I think was happy to hear that I struggled too.
The biking was my favorite part and I was able to make up a lot of time lost during the swim.
Running felt okay, but I had wanted to go a little bit faster. Scott on the other hand did awesome in the run.
I ended up finishing in 1hour 29 mins, which was second in my age group!!!
setting up our transition area.....
getting the wet suits on is quite the process
Scott obviously had a FIRE lit under his butt
when he did the run!!!!
I had to post all of Autumn's pictures together,
because she always looked so happy and so cute!
She just had a good time.
We couldn't get Matt to do the tri with us,
but it was nice to have him there cheering us on and taking pictures.
I had to take a picture of these 2 guys....
after finishing they started hugging and crying.
Secretly Autumn and I wanted to do this :-)
We spent 2 night in Park City at my favorite hotel the Newpark Hotel by the outlets.
Adam and his girlfriend Kelsey came and met us for dinner,
which of course made the night amazing!!!
