We did a sprint triathlon on June 14th in Pleasant Grove. It was awesome! Aaron had already done one in Salt Lake but this was my first one. We ran a 5K, biked 8.5 miles then swam 500m. Aaron was on a relay with his mom. He ran and biked and she finished off with the swim. I did all the events and am thankfully still alive to write this post! No really, it was fun and I'm looking forward to our next one we're planning in September. Come join us!!!
Here we are before it all began.
Here are the triathletes! It was so fun having Aaron's mom with us. She was amazing! She trained hard for it and did great, so I hear anyway. She was done and out of the pool before I even started swimming. Excellent!
Here I am during the swim. It was so nice that they had it last. It felt good to jump in the cool water after running and biking. Pretty gross to think of all the sweat in there!! Blah, but that was the last thing on my mind at the time. I was only trying to "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."Aaron and I right after I finished.
Aaron and his Mom with their awards. They took 2nd place out of all the relays. I couldn't be more proud of both of them!
Out of approximately 200 people Aaron and his mom came in 70th and I came in 145th. I accomplished both of my goals, to finish and not to be last. Yahoo!!
About Me
- sharpest family
- I'm a mother of four girls and one boy and I've got the greatest husband in the world-and I'd bet the farm on that one. We're a great team although he says he's moving out of the house as soon as all our girls are teenagers. We're very strong in our religion which is in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I draw strength from my religion and my family. I love life and am grateful to be surrounded by such great family and friends. I am gently reminded daily of the love and blessings that our Heavenly Father has for us. I live the life I always dreamed of having. I don't know how I was so blessed. Sometimes I feel undeserving to have the perfect life I always wanted. But I'm not complaining! I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Life goes up and life goes down, but even during the lowest so far, I'm still happy. Still know that I will have my family forever. Still know that my husband adores me and I him. Life is so good.
