I got to check another item off my 40 before 40 list! On Sunday, July 27th, I participated in a sprint triathlon!! I swam 1/3 of a mile, biked 15 miles and ran 3.2 miles! It was such an amazing, incredible event to be part of! You can participate as a relay time or by yourself and it was all me! I was so nervous because with coaching lacrosse, I didn't get much time to train. I only trained for about 5 weeks!
This is the first time I biked 15 miles!

I did my open water swim training up at my Mom's on Little Sebago Lake!

The day before the race, I went over to pick up my race packet!

The morning of the race, I left the house at 6am. I was so nervous. I wrote on my arms the names of the people in my family effected by cancer.
The swim was first! There was 11 heats, and I was in the 3rd heat. The 1st heat to go into the water is the cancer survivors. The 2nd heat was the cancer survivors relay. It was a beautiful, emotional start to the race.
Proudly cheering on the survivors coming out of the water. They were the 1st heat!
In the water!

Riding the bike
I love this picture of my Mom cheering me on!
I made it back! I had some bike problems and had to stop a couple times to fix the chain, but I did it!
Transitioning from the bike to the final stretch.... the run!
I enjoyed the whole experience!
Met some great ladies to finish the race with.
Getting cheers & high fives from my family after finishing!
My amazing support :)
Post race celebration!
