Well, it has been quite a while since I've written--things have been rather busy with wedding planning and work, but this morning, I completed a Ramblin' Rose triathlon, and I felt it deserved a blog post!
My wonderful fiance (who got up at the crack of dawn to drive me to the race, held my stuff, cheered for me, and met me at the finish line!) asked me what exactly had made me want to do this race. I've never been the most athletic, but since college I've had an on-and-off relationship with running/the elliptical/group exercise classes/etc. I definitely wouldn't classify myself as a runner--though I've made several attempts to become one. As a chid, I swam on summer swim team, and enjoyed that. I go through phases of biking. So when I saw the Ramblin' Rose stuff I thought--maybe that is something I could do! Then I saw that there was a training class being offered, so I figured why not?
I finished in 1:17 today, and though there were a couple hundred women who finished faster than me, I am so excited to say that I did it! Not only did I do it, I really enjoyed it!!! The race was a great experience, and having trained and worked for it gave me such a sense of accomplishment when I finished it today!
