TRIATHALON...WOOT WOOT!!!

YEEHAW...We finished the Peachtree City Triathalon! Zach, Naomi and I all did it. It was really fun.
It was a 480 meter swim, 15 mile bike, 5k run.
Almost the same as the one I did in Alabama except the swim was a little longer. My time for the Alabama one was 1hour and 32 minutes, and that was 5 years ago before I had any kids. So my goal this time was to beat that. This time I got 1 hour and 29 minutes. So I was happy. But after I looked at my split times, I know I could have done WAY better.
The swim was kind of difficult. I had not trained for it at all. I swam one time at lake powell and once in peachtree city lake but both of them were a good month and a half before the race.
My goal for the bike was to beat 55 minutes and I did it in 44, which totally suprised me. i usually really STINK at the bike. But the bike was my only saving grace in this race.
My run KILLED me. It took me 29 minutes. I felt like my legs were filled with lead.
I'm kind of addicted though. I had a lot of fun. And I want to do another one. Plus, it was really fun doing it with Zach and Naomi.
Dusky brought the girls and they were so cute. Everytime I would pass them they would yell "GO MOMMY GO! GO MOMMY GO!"

Running my bike through the transition area.

Zach on the bike.
He did AWESOME! His overall time was 1:18. And he did that with very little training.
Naomi on the Bike. Her overall time was 2:01.
I can't believe she did a triathalon less than a year after a MAJOR back surgery.
She's a trooper

After the Race
Zach and Tasha
