Wow! That is the only word I can use to describe the feeling of completing a triathlon. No, I didn't finish first, but I did finish. I can only improve from here. I will post pictures later.
My dad came down from LaGrange to watch me. I loved it. His head was bald from the chemo and radiation, but he was there anyway cheering me on. Thanks Dad for the encouragement. My boys and husband were there and my good friend, Juli. Thanks to all of you.
I place where I can record my journey through this life-the ups and downs, the victories and defeats.
My biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in my lungs, and the burning in my legs, and the voice inside of me that yells can't. But I don't listen. I just push harder and then I hear the voice whisper can. Then I discover that the person I thought that I was is no match for the one I really am.

Hi,
I did my first tri this year, and I agree with you it's some cool stuff.
Check out trifind.com, you can plan out your season and find some 'A' races to train for.
Keep up the fine work.
