Not my best side for sure...

As promised, here are the triathlon pics. I really don't like any of them (ok, maybe the bike one is ok), but I really am proud of my accomplishment! I did the Echo Triathlon, and was in the sprint distance race. It consisted of a 1/2 mile swim in Echo Resevoir, a 12.5 mile bike along the canyon wall north of the lake, and 5k run along the Rail Trail that is lakeside! It was a beautifully cool, cloudy morning; which I am sure contributed to my ability to finish!

I finished in just over 2 hours, which was super slow for my age group, but it was actually faster than I thought I would finish; especially considering I had some serious water bottle cage issues on the bike that ate up about 5-10 min.! I felt so exhilirated at the end, and cannot wait to do another one!Just coming out of the water...The swim was definitely the hardest part for me. And man those wetsuits are not flattering!

Just beginning the bike. This is right as my water bottle cage was starting to totally fall off of my bike. I ended up holding my water bottle for the entire ride. I was also holding an energy gel packet in my mouth, lol.

Trekking along on the run. By this point, I was pretty worn out, but super determined to finish!

Aaahh! The finish line. I didn't even know there was a photog, or I may have made a better effort to look cuter. I'm pretty sure this is just a look of pure relief that it was over! My time was 2:10: 56 or something close to that. Nowhere to go but up from here!
