I "Tri-ed"

I almost died, but I did it.  A weeks ago my friends Erica and Dani and myself decided we wanted to do a triathlon USU was hosting.  We had about a month to train and so we changed up our regular workout routines and started practicing.  The Day finally came.  We were all terrified.  It was a very small tri with only 12 participants, but that seemed to make it more intimidating. It wasn't insanely difficult, but still hard: 400 yd swim, 4 mile bike, and 2 mile run. Once we got started and got in the groove it was okay.  I am glad I did it, but it was surely torture.  Our dear husbands came to cheer us on and afterwards we celebrated with mounds of food with a buffet at Golden Corral.


Me, Erica and Dani representing with our made up "Big Nate's Gym" T shirts I gave them for Christmas.
Get it- Swim, Bike, Run



Ugh, Swim.  I always feels so disoriented.  It was 400 yd swim.

The bike!  A chance to catch your breath.  I like how our girl's legs are in sync.  You can see the # written on my arm.  They wrote on our legs too.....in permanent marker.  It was a 4 mile bike.
No picture of the run.  Logan was chasing down Jack and couldn't get any and I am not pretty when I run.  It was a 2 mile run.  Finally done!  The classic tough picture.  We got sweet arm bands from USU.

Celebrate!  Us, the Lloyds, and Carlile's.  Jack tipped a tray and spilled 2 entire glasses of pop on Erica.  I felt so bad.


Jack treating his Zuh Zuh pet like a car, just like he does with everything else.

Why do you like to torture yourself like that? Good job, though! I wonder if there is a triatholon setting on my Wii Active?
