austin trek woman tri series....my first real tri...
I DID IT! That was my main goal in the entire day was to do many firsts.....
My first tri
My first open water swim
My first bike race
Yesterday morning we had a survivor breakfast which was attended by Sally Edwards. She is a big supporter of team survivor. She was high fiving us all as we entered the water and she grabbed my hand and said "you can do this". She is such a neat lady. At the end of the race she gave me the biggest hug and told me she knew I could do it.
I was not in this to be the fastest but to prove.... to myself... there is life after cancer!!!!
My daughter (poor kiddo is in a walking type cast until surgery in two weeks - she came from Oregon for race weekend) hobbled all over the place to cheer me on. It meant so much to have my daughter and husband out there. My husband is so funny....I was really tired the last uphill mile! He came and met up with me and two othe ladies the last 1/2 mile or so. He was jogging in his steel toed boots!! lol
One bonus to all of this is.... I have now lost 30 pounds!
