Tri for the Cure

A couple months ago I got a bug up my behind to do another triathlon and right about that time I got a message in my inbox from the Tri for the Cure.  It piqued my interest so I went to the website and learned that this particular tri is woman only.  I loved that and immediately went and signed up.  Then I had serious buyer's remorse or whatever you want to call it.  I freaked out, okay. I really am not a good swimmer. So, I kept telling myself that I would get in the pool.  But.....big but coming up.  I had every good intention of getting in the pool and swimming BUT I didn't.  That was the problem.  I never got in the pool.  About two weeks ago, I realized that I was not going to accomplish this tri by myself because I was going to drown before I made it to my bike.  I sent a desperate email to my friend Jenn and she was kind enough to fill in for my swim.  To make a long story short, I changed my solo mission into a two person relay.  We met up in Denver very early on Sunday morning.  She swam, I biked and ran.  Perfect :)  Thanks to Jenn for saving me at the last minute.  We ended up doing really well in our division!
Here are the pics from the day.  It was super fun and I think that a triathlon relay is definitely the way to go for this girlie.




Happy Monday!

I know they have swimming lessons for the kids, but I also think they have them for adults. Interested?
