Triathlon




First of all, we might be posting a few things from this last school year until we get caught up to the present day. Chase and I did a Triathlon on April 10th! It was extremely challenging, but worth all the hard work and training. Chase was in a triathlon class and he ended up signing us both up for a Triathlon. It wasn't an extreme triathlon, but it was a 700 meter swim, 13 mile bike ride, and a 5K run (although the swim was the night before the running and biking portion). When we showed up to do the triathlon, we took our bikes over to this tent that had workers from Barry's sports. They told us that if we wanted to, we could trade our bikes in for some AWESOME road bikes! So we totally did! We ended up getting to use $7,000 road bikes in the race! I'm glad I didn't think too much about it, or else I would have been really nervous that I would have crashed it! We are happy to say, that we both completed the triathlon without stopping, or walking. I KILLED Chase in the swim portion by over 2 minutes, but he KILLED me in the biking and running portion. When we transitioned from the biking to the running, I thought my legs were going to fall off. They felt like jello but when people started cheering for me, I immediately began running. I don't think my body had a clue what it still had to do! It was a great experience, but I don't know if we will do another one!
