We swam 800 meters.
The water was freezing cold. Well a mere 60 degrees. We were one of the only few who did not have a wet suit. I felt bad for the gentleman who only was wearing a Speedo.
We Biked 13 miles.
I had to help my little sister out with that one because she was not able to practice on a real bike. I was helping her switch gears and giving her encouragement to climb up the one side of the hill and fly down the other side.
We Ran/Walked 5k.
Now Michelle probably could have kicked my booty but she stayed with me the whole way giving me the encouragement I needed to finish the race.
We had an Awesome experience! I absolutely loved it. Our official time was 2 hours and 39 minutes. We crossed within seconds of each other.
I got asked the question the other day if I would do it again and my response is Absolutely! I now know what I need to do. I definitely need to train harder on the running and do more running outside instead of on the treadmill.
My Awesome mother came to enjoy this expereince with us and to give a helping hand.
My sisters husband Doug Bemis and her little girl Mylee Bemis also came along for support.

Triathlon's ROCK!
