Monday

OK so on Monday i went swimming with my dad and i did around 500. its not a lot but oh well

this up coming week

i haven't been training for so long but my dad and I are gonna go train this week! i have been walking and went biking once last week!

So Excited!!

OK so I'm now on the National Triathlete thing for new triathletes!! I was so excited that my tri story was on the site. Now people can see I did one! My dad was smiling a lot!

My very First tri!!! ♥

My first tri was the hardest thing I probably ever done!! I was OK till I had to get in the water and started swimming, then I got really nervous. I was the last person in the pool.

Then I went on my bike portion. The people said that it would be pretty flat, but it wasn't. It was down hill when you first started then it was all up hill when you had to turn around! I had to do four laps, I was really tired. When you drive the course it looks sort of easy but when you really get on it, it's really hard!

Then the run, when I first got off my bike I had very wobbly legs and then I headed out. I was lacking on energy, I felt as if I was going to vomit, and I really needed some water. When I took a little bit of the energy gel stuff, I was gonna throw up (literally) but I didn't. I had to do two laps of the run! A very sweet girl, named Hahna, she walked with me on the run. She was done already but it wasn't her first one and she started before my group. On the 2nd lap my sister and Maylice (the French student) ran/walked with me. I had just barely enough energy to run across the finish line. I was the very last person to cross it. But that's not the focus, it's that I finished!

For the transition I had a list of what to do in order, but I didn't need it. My Dad was so excited, maybe even more than me (just kidding). After the race we went home, my parents took a very long nap, I took a shower, and then we went out to lunch. We went to Sweet Tomatoes to celebrate my finishing!






Now I can say that I'm a Triathlete!

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my tri and I'm so excited and a little nervous. Today I'm going to pick up my packet thingy then look at the course for biking and maybe running. Then, my Dad and I will train a little then practice the transitions. I'm going to go to bed really early cause we are going to wake up at 5:00. After the tri I get to pick where to go for dinner to celebrate me finishing the triathlon.

This week a foreign student will be staying at our house. She is from France and she knows English. So, she will be cheering me on at the tri! She is very polite and shy but she is getting comfortable with us so far. I think she is having a great time!!

I will tell you about my tri later on.

My Daddy Did It!!!

My Dad did so great on the tri! Before, he said that if just got though the swim and bike he would be happy but, he did the whole thing. We were very proud! The bike part was very hard it was very very hilly. It's pretty much non-stop hills! At the end of the bike there was a huge steep hill. We called it the HILL OF DEATH!! He walked up it, most of the people did. When he went down it he said he was going like 38 miles per hour. It was pretty sweet! Then we headed back home. Once we got there we got Annie, she was jumping like crazy. She was so happy to see us. She would be in the basement in a huge cage thingy for almost the whole day!! We were glad we where finally home after almost a two day drive!

Sick!!

I haven't been writing on my blog for so long, I'm sorry. Well, I really haven't been train 'cause I've been sick. My voice has been going out, head aches, and throwing up. So, I feel really bad. I'm resting till I get better.
