I just want to say a big thank you to my family and friends for all there support. I had a goal to do a Triathlon this summer and last weekend I did it. My husband and daughter was there to cheer me on at my first open water swim, tri tri and 7:00am the morning of the race. what more can a wife ask for. Fawn you are a great Coach with your can do attitude, Bridget you were there on your kayak, so I didn't die on my first swim and for always being their supporting us thanks for the gummy cherries, you were a big part of our team. Nancy, Christy for always pushing me to do better, Super women Tanya for always encouraging us. For the S.O.S group with all your encouraging words. I had never done a Tri before so my goal was to just complete the race. After my first swim in the lake it took 26 mins , I thought I was going to die, but with Bridget in her Kayak telling me you are doing good you can do it. I do it only just. I am happy to report that I did the swim in just under 12 mins on race day. I then did the bike which I loved and then the dreaded run which I surprised myself, my total time was 2 hours 6 mins. As I came around the corner, ready to just drop there was Christy and Nancy shouting for me, wow that was amazing. I felt like I was just about to win gold. after that I saw my Hubby and daughter and just couldn't help myself, I started to cry. Then to top it off Bridget and Fawn was their. Thanks everyone I couldn't of done it without you all. So what do I do now? So call me crazy but Fawn as asked us to do another one in three weeks. All the money goes to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. So we are also raise money for a great course. So anyone got any ideas to raise $6o for the next race? I Did it!!!!!!!!!! Believe in your dreams.
