I tried a Tri

I truly believe in living life to the fullest, so when my good friend suggested we team up and do a triathlon, it didn't take much convincing. We were sponsored by Tri Veda. We trained for about 3 months, then got up well before dawn and made our way to Ft. Desoto with families in tow.


I swam, Cecilia biked, and Lorena ran.


It was awesome to have our friends and family cheering us on. I kept hearing Jarin's famous whistle while I was swimming and I knew he was cheering for me.:)

Sadly, my family lost me in the crowd and thought I was the very last swimmer, so they were surprised when I emerged from the water well before that poor last lady. (We all look the same at a distance in the water) Jesse was watching and wanted to accompany me to the transition area until he realized I had to run through the murky water to get there.


All in all, it was such a great experience. The swim was super cold and way too salty, but I loved the fun atmosphere and all the happy triathletes. They made it so awesome!! Thanks Ceci and Lorena!! And Thanks Tri Veda!!
