Triathlon 2011

I did my second triathlon on Saturday July 9th. I did the same one last year. I actually worsened my time this year by 30 seconds. That is because I am an idiot and couldn't figure out the maze of the finish line. I also didn't run as well as I thought I could. Overall I was disappointed in my time and performance. The only thing I was happy with was my swim. I added 15 seconds but that was because I had to pass 5 people and that slowed me down. But I passed 5 people!!! That was an awesome feeling.

I can't be too hard on myself though. Look what I can make my big body do. I can go farther and harder than a lot of "skinny" people I know. I proved to myself that it doesn't matter what size you are, look what I can make my body do. I also don't want my kids to have a bad body image. I try and be an example to them that being healthy is way more important than being skinny. And you can do a lot of things if you put your mind to it.

Waiting in line to start the swim. My kids wishing me good luck.
