#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!

#54 Check

My #54 of do something spontaneous and out of character was checked off this last weekend. Out of the Blue my best friend Krissy texted me and told me that there was a "I Love Pink" campus party for victoria secret. Basically a big dance party. (Something I have never been too or done) and they were giving away a bunch of stuff so we decided to go.

With in the first 15 mins of dancing, we got pulled up on staged and we danced for probably 2 hours. Something that I would have never done with out the nudging of my BFF. So thanks Krissy for making me not feel like a loser and encouraged me to do something out of my comfort zone. Who knew it was A TOTAL BLAST :)
