I did it!



I had the best time at my triathlon today. Well not literally. My finishing time was a little on the lame side but that that is OK.

The swim could definately have gone better. I was very excited to start and I don't know if I started swimming too fast or if it was just the wetsuit constricting my chest but I was having trouble getting my breath. Eventually I made it but I was much, much slower than I thought I would be.

That made me very determined to work super hard on the bike. I rode as fast as I could make my legs go so I'm quite proud of that. I was out there for probably 45 minutes all the while my heart rate was at about 90% of my max. Hoooweeee! Fun!

My run was *meh*. Could have been slower so I should be happy with that. All in all I had a great time and want to do another one. I am thinking of ditching the half marathon in favour of actually training for a second triathlon in August.

We did it! - 5K March 2008

It was cold. It was slushy and icy but I smiled the whole way and was so happy to be running this 5K. I could have run faster but I was just in it to finish. Dinograd ran a Personal Best... my previous 5K Personal Best remains intact. Next stop, sprint Triathlon in April. Yikes! I better get hitting that pool!
