Reesha's Triathlon and Duathlon Race Reports!

[Reesha]

Thanks Tri Girl! I'm pretty pleased with myself, for sure Yeah Lake Placid is amazing. It's incredible how much of the social scene revolves around athleticism of some kind or other and not in an exclusive way. Everyone is so encouraging and helpful and during the mini-tri the faster people heading back the way you're going high five you and say encouraging things. It's soooo cool. Then afterward, people kick back and drink a beer or go out for wings. It's a pretty healthy lifestyle all in all and I couldn't have asked for anything cooler.

I spent my whole young life thinking I was a terrible athlete with terrible endurance and no hope for ever being able to live my athletic dreams. Turns out I always had asthma! I was diagnosed last October and it's actually quite acute. If only I'd known back when I was a soccer player!

Doing the Triathlons is my way of sticking it to the condition. Screw you asthma! That's what I say.

I meant to do a full mini tri practice today but my swim friends cancelled and I'm not going to be stupid enough to swim alone. I did the run twice and the bike once. It's getting easier!

Congrats on finishing your first tri! I'm amazed you were able to train in 3 weeks. It sounds like the beginning of a lot of tris to come!

Yipppppppeeeeeee!!

Nice work. You finished and you didn't finish last after all.

The vertigo thing has to do with getting cold water in your ears. You do adapt to it after awhile.

Keep it up!! You'll just keep getting stonger.

I have never done a Tri! I think you are brave and successful!!
