Finishing up the bike portion.

Changing after the bike for the swim. Yes, I had to change outside!

After the swim. I had to go back outside in the cold to get my clothes. VERY COLD!

On April 18, I competed in my first sprint triathlon. I had to run 3.1 miles, bike 10 miles, and swim 350 meters. I was very nervous! I had been swimming a couple times a week for the last couple of months, but swimming is not my strong point and was really nervous because it was last. My friend, Marie, let me borrow her road bike and I was only able to ride it once before the race. I finished in one hour 12 minutes I took third place in my division! I was so shocked when I saw the results. The triathlon was a lot of fun. In fact, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I think I will compete in a few more...maybe even some that are longer distances.
