We Did It!

No... get your minds out of the gutter, it's nothing dirty... we finished our triathlon! Mind you we only did one leg each and I had the easy part of running four miles, but none the less we completed it as a team. Myself, Britton and Brandon (Britton's bro) completed the Hiawassee International Distance Triathlon on Saturday and it was so much fun. I was inspired by all of the people competing. The age range was from 14 to 70 something, I know this because they write your age on your leg (I think this is to make you feel bad when a 56 year old man blows past you!). There were some amazing things about the whole experience... the overall female winner was a mere 14 year old and the guy who won (by a ton I might add) did the whole thing in a speedo! I do have to give some props to Britton because he had the hardest leg, the bike, and he completed 23 miles in the mountains in a mere 1:24! We were so pumped to see him coming down the hill to the transition. The running was fun, but tough. I felt bad because by that time I started the majority of the other racers had been competing for almost 2 hours and I had fresh legs, and because about the only people I passed were cramping up, yikes. I do think that I have caught the bug and will be turning my half marathon training in after Thanksgiving and moving onto triathlons (Britton is still not sure yet - the whole swimming thing is not his cup of tea). I forgot my camera so I don't have a picture of the three of us, Tommy Want Wingy (team name), and for that I am bummed. So, I guess I will have to just show ya'll a picture of Q-Dog instead!
