A sweet Sweet Tri

I have to admit I had so much fun doing my triathlon. I went into it having trained some, but I didn't think I was going to do as well as I did last year, but I reached my goals for this year. I wanted to break 1 hr 30 minutes and I did that which also achieved my other goal of beating last year's time. So all in all, it was a GREAT triathlon. I convinced my sister and brother in-law to do it with me. I think my nervousness before the race drove my sister crazy because I was pointing out everything little thing that maybe I should try or that I thought was a drawback and she just kept saying to me, "You've got to STOP! You're making me so nervous!" But how can a jabbermouth like me stop the total onslaught of words streaming through my brain from just pouring out my mouth when there's that much adrenaline pumping through me? I honestly was exhausted even before I got into the pool to start because I had had adrenaline for about 2 hours just coursing through my veins. When it was all over, I really felt like I had run a marathon because of the adrenaline drain. Next year my goal is to take another 10 minutes off my time and NOT get so nervous! Happy tri-ing!
