HAFB Triathlon

Today I did my first Tri with my sister Kris. It was one cold, rainy, summer morning. We checked in. We waited by the pool for our heat. We were in the last heat. We were glad that we were in the last heat so there weren't too many people watching us swim! The swim ended up not being as scary as I thought it would be. But the whole time people were hitting, kicking and pulling on you. I wasn't really able to use my newly aquired swimming skills. I am not sure how long the swimm took because I forgot to stop my watch. The biking was fun. It was raining and very windy. I did well on the bike. My feet were freezing! I transitioned to the run. My feet were numb and frozen. The run was not my best run ever but I feel pretty good about how I did overall! The event was free and you also received a free T-shirt!

A big thanks to Jared, Brecklyn and Trey for cheering us on!
