* 1st was the swim. (1/4 mile)
To so many people this would be NO BIG DEAL- but I was so scared. I have never really learned the correct way to swim, so I was so nervous. My sister in laws helped me out & then my cousin Krista & I practiced together a few times. Krista & I were stressed about it .. but we just had to laugh about it. We even wore our attractive swim caps with goggles- SO CUTE! ha
The pool was small & people were so close to each other in the pool. At the beginning I started with Krista & my brother in law Scott & I let people pass me... BUT I will say I actually passed a couple people, too! I was so glad when the swim was over.
* Next was the bike ride. (Was planned to be 8 miles, but they had to cut it to 4 miles that morning)
Krista & I took bike rides with her mom, my Aunt Alma & Shalae.
{Side note to remember- On one of our "training days", I flipped over the handle bars of the bike trying to save my ear phones from getting caught in the tires- which didn't happen anyway. Good times!}
The bike seems so easy .. but after swimming, my legs felt like JELLO & when Shalae & I hopped on our bikes our gears were messed up & it took about 1/2 the time figuring out how to fix them.
It was so fun biking with Shalae. We almost spit on someone & kicked them while doing a straddle... and ummm... hate to admit this- but I don't think we passed anyone on our bikes. WAA WAA

Did I already say JELLO... cause that feeling stayed for awhile.
After hopping off of the bikes- Shalae realized her I-POD was in her car & took a detour to grab it. I was left high & dry- actually NOT dry. (Still wet from the swim) I started the run by myself until I met up with Scott & ran with him for a bit.

My sister in-law SYD, who got me to even TRI to attempt this & kept encouraging me along for weeks! (Thanks):
