Finished!

Yeah! I finished the Camp Pendleton Sprint Triathlon! It was awesome! I feel like I did pretty well. Yes, I was mad at first because Kristina beat me. But I felt a little better after I found out that she beat Skyler also. I guess she is better than we all thought, including herself. The swim was really hard for me because the waves started getting big as my wave started. I got thrown back by a few before I realized I had to watch the waves and then dive under when one was coming. Also, on this swim I felt like the s were swimming everywhere. I keep getting hit, kicked, and swam into by everyone. It didn't get any better as the end neared. But I feel like I still did ok. Then the bike was next. I pushed pretty hard on the first half of the bike, until I saw Kristina and figured out that she was 5 minutes ahead of me. Then I kicked myself into gear and did the second half of the bike super hard. So when I got to the running portion I was beat. It was so uplifting to see my family cheering me on. It put a smile on my face! Skyler ran next to me for the first 3/4 mile of the run to give me a pep talk. He is so sweet to me. I felt like I could barely lift my feet but I kept plugging on. By the last mile, I started to get some strength back and I finished my run strong. It was a great race! Not sure what our next race is, but I am hoping for Newport Coast, because it is close!
