#19 complete- Triathlon (June 11th, 2016)

I've done it!!!  6 months of training and I have completed my first Triathlon! Which includes 0.5 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride and 3.2 mile run.

The morning of the race it was FREEZING! I really struggled with the wind during the swim, but regardless, I finished and I am super proud of myself!

Here are some photos from training and the race


Here is me attempting my first bike ride outside. Since I trained from Jan-Jun, most of my training was inside at a pool or a gym


Here is the lake (Jensen's Grove) a few days before the race, I was doing a practice swim


And myself, another bike ride before the race



Here is Race day, after my swim


Finishing the run


And getting the best hugs post race from little Millie




on to the next bucket list item... until next time!
