Bi-athalon
Sunday I did a beginner bi-athalon. It was a 2 mile run, 10 mile bike ride, then another 2 mile run. I am not a very good runner, so my goal was just to run the first two, then walk the second two. I did almost did that (I walked for about 1/10 mile) and probably would have been able to run more than that had it not been so hot (100 degrees when I finished!) Although I felt I did alright- I still ended up finishing 2nd to last! It didn't get me down though- I figured I was still way ahead of those who hadn't even gotten out of bed yet! I'll keep training and maybe I'll do better next time.

Great shots. And that was a good way to start your summer. Bet you're feeling proud of your achievements.
Next time, hide your bike in the weeds at the start and ride the entire 14 miles! I know you can win.

Good for you. Do you know what I was doing while you were bi-athoning? Sitting at home! hehe! :o)
And the winner is....YOU! What an awesome thing to do. What an inspiration you are. Makes me want to go out and climb Pikes Peak.
Love,
Mom
Congratulations!!!!! I hope you loved it! Its not easy to run after coming off the bike -- and you are SOOOO right - its not about what place you come in - its about doing it -- and even more so, the time and effort you put in to be able to do it!
