Last weekend I did my first tri. I did it with my 4 sisters at the Seattle Danskin. We all signed up for this 2 years ago and 3 of us bailed out in fear. This year we all did it and finished in 2 hours and 35 minutes. It wasn't about the time, it was about finishing, TOGETHER. It was a blast. Three of us were newbies and had trained with Kitsap Tri-babes. Lisa (the gal who runs Kitsap Tri Babes) couldn't have prepared us anymore. After training with her for the last 6 weeks (yes, we are very last minute) the swim, bike and run(we walked) seemed easy. My sisters and I are spread out over a 8 year span, all different weights (when I started the training I was at 265).
It was amazing. i am hooked. I am planning on doing the TREK in Seattle in Sept, this time to see what kind of time I can get.
