OMG

My first tri has finally passed the sneaking up on me stage and is looming next weekend.   On June 11 my training group Tri It For Life had a mock tri for the upcoming Rambling Rose Rock Hill.  I broke no records -- I did not finish last -- and I finished before my 11 yr old daughter (squeee!! LOL).  I love the idea of the mock - it proved to me that I could do it.  I can do this - and I shall.  I am stronger and faster than I was then.  My running (slogging) - which I HATE to do - is now below a 14 min mile.  Yes - I know - I am a slug compared to many - but considering that when I started this I was walking a 20 minute mile - I AM AWESOME. :D  My daughter blows away my swim time - she did a 5:17 250 where mine was a 8:42.  I am faster than that now.  My bike is good - I can maintain a 4:30 mile.  Egads - looks like I am trying to set a goal time here.    Hmmm - I did the mock in 1:47.  I think I can beat that.  I shall try for 1:30.  I will be happy just to cross the finish line :).
