I competed in a triathlon today! I actually did it. I am pretty proud of myself for actually doing it. I think my final time was 1:24:something. 13th in my division. For my first sprint triathlon, my first race of any kind, my first sporting event of any kind, I actually had a decent time and had fun doing it. It actually went by a lot faster than I thought it would, and I actually didn't die! Woohoo!
There was one point in the 5K when there was a family putting on a garage sale and it made me think of the Office episode where they are doing a 5K for a rabies cure and Pam and Jim
stopped by and bought a vase. I thought about stopping at the garage sale and then I got my head on straight.
Also, another funny thing happened. I noticed at one point that my timing chip fell off my ankle (see that ankle bracelet that looks like a house arrest bracelet in the last photo.) I actually had to run back and go find it so I could get a time for the tri. It probably only added a minute or two to my time, but it was a quick panic moment. I am just happy that I realized it was gone so soon after it fell off. Whew. Close call.
Please notice that in the last 2 photos, the sun is not up. No, not even close to being up. Also, I need to work on being muscular.

YAY Kim!!! This is great! Will you come bicycle the KATY trail with me next time you are in town?
You can set the pace!

Haha. Thanks Dad! Now that I am into this whole exercise thing (who would have thought that I ever would have sunk to this level) I would LOVE to come bike the KATY trail. Also, I got a helmet :)
