and then his momma was a tri-athlete!!!

Last Saturday I competed in, finished and fell in love with the triathlon. I've been thinking of doing one for a while, but got serious a couple of months ago and started training hard. It was probably one of the best race experiences I have had to date! Way better than my disaster of a half-marathon this spring... Ugh!! I think the best part was having my boys at the finish line and Greyson even running in right behind me. The race was close to home, so the boys slept in and made it down in time to see me finish... Here are a few pics and a video of me crossing the line... The clock says, 1:17:15, but I started in the 2nd wave so I started 3 minutes into the clock, so my official time, was 1:14:15 - which blew my goal time of 1:20:00 out to the water!!



Headed to the finish line!! I was so happy to see Greyson!!
