I participated in the "Wurst" Triathlon this weekend in town! First time to participate in an event like that- and it was basically my motivation to get moving post-baby. Maybe I should clarify that it was a sprint triathlon- although I did no such thing. After scanning the pool and realizing I was the only participant that did not come equipped with a swim cap nor goggles for the swim in the RIVER fed pool (gulp), I kinda went into panic mode and basically threw my swimming skills out the window and floundered my way through the swim course.
I think I got even slower the more I heard Porter and co. cheer for me from the side (ugh!). Thankfully it was over before I knew it and it was off to bike and run- both of which I really enjoyed!
I am proud of myself for doing the race but I am most proud of Porter- he really made me feel like a million dollars as I crossed the finish line. He was so enthusiastic throughout the race and cheered so hard, I was convinced that there might be a trophy waiting for me with my name on it.
Not so.
But,
I did have this-
And that made it so worth the while :)
