Splish and Splash Sprint Triathalon!!!

Today I completed my first triatholon!!I competed in the South Davis Rec Center Splish and Splash tri!

Why this one?...Why a tri?

Well this one because I am terrified of swimming in a lake...afraid of drowning...I like being able to touch the wall every 25 yards. yep a slight wimp I am. Plus it was good timing to get the feel for them and know better how to train and what todo for the rest of the year.

Why a tri? I needed a new challenge. Everyone says I should do a full marathon...but Im not mentally ready. So this was my new challenge see what I can push my self to do.

How it went:
* I loved it!!!
* Times to come
* The swim was out of control. People jumping in the pool to start every 20 sec. People swimming on top of one another. I cant tell you how many times I got hit or hit someone. At least we are all doing so no need to feel bad!
* The bike was way fun. Though I probably shouldnt have pushed it so hard. But I figured I need to learn to run after biking hard. (Change in training coming soon!) The funnest moment was waiting for the train. A good rest. Though we only had a mile left.
*The run....Well I never knew my legs would forget how to listen. After the bike my legs wanted to peddle not run forward. A little challenging. And they made us run on the sidewalk...bad race planning there.

AND MANY MORE TRIS TO COME!!!

Enjoy the pictures and slide show. My parents get carried away taking them!
