Wow, I really haven't posted in a long time..since I started training for the Danskin. Well, today, I DID the Danskin. It was awesome! So much fun. I was pretty nervous at the beginning, but once I got in the water, I remember, "OK, this is what all your training was for" an I was off! It was such a positive, uplifting event - women of all shapes and sizes, athletic abilities, colors, etc. There was a cancer survivor wave as well.
I feel like I probably could have pushed myself a little harder and done better, but for my first one I'm happy with my performance. I finished in 1 hour and 40 minutes. All the official breakdowns of how I did in the swim, bike, run and transitions will come later. I think I will do a triathlon again. I really enjoyed the training and the whole experience. Plus seeing Kevin smiling at the finish line was great too!
After the triathlon, we hustled over to Gasworks park where the Yost's were celebrating Josie's baptism. Kevin and I were unable to make it to the mass because of the triathlon, but both of our parent's were there and so got to see the whole thing. After that, Kevin, our parents, and I went to Aqua Verde for lunch, yum! Then we came home and I took at nap....ha! That felt good!
This week at work will be short but crazy...I'm headed to Pasco on Tuesday to help a team of engineers prepare for an upcoming interview for a job in Walla Walla. I'll be back Wednesday night, and then on Friday Kevin and I are leaving for a long weekend trip to San Francisco to celebrate our one year anniversary. Yay! Can't believe it's been a year already!
