400 meter swim, 9 mile bike ride, 3.2 mile run
I had 2 very simple goals for my first ever triathlon
#1 To Finish
#2 To not come in very last
Mission Accomplished!!
My friend Sara Talley and I, all fresh and ready to go before the race
Lining up for the swim.
I can see myself, I am dead center in the black capris and cream t-shirt
Finishing up the 9 mile bike ride
About 1/2 way through the 3.2 mile run - not lookin so fresh anymore

The fan club - Kent was out of town, so my Mom came up with my girls to watch the race. She's also the photographer. It was so fun to have people on the sidelines cheering me on.

One of my friends/old roommates Allison is the one that roped me into doing this. I'm bummed we didn't get a picture together. She did awesome, she was done by the time I was just starting my run. (Allison, I'll steal a picture of you off your blog as soon as you post)

YOU. ARE.CRAZY. That is SO AWESOME!! I would have a flipin heart attack (literally) if I even attempted that! That is such a great accomplishment!
Shelley, this is your brother Bri. I am proud of you. That is pretty awesome. I did a triathlon when I was a teenager. I got third place and won some cool prizes. There was only three people in it, but I still had fun. :) I think I got lost on the bike ride part. Anyway, I am proud of you. Love Brian.
I don't think I've been on your blog forever...there's like 6 posts I haven't seen. Looks like you guys have been up to lots of fun!!!! You've turned into quite the exercise machine. Congrats on your triathalon!
You are awesome!! I think that is great you guys did it!
Good Job babe!! I am so proud of you and finishing what you set out to do. I love you.
Wow!! Congrats! I still have yet to do a tri... very inspiring.
