Jess,

Awesome! I cannot even imagine doing a triathlon. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Your girls looked pretty happy and proud of their mom!

I meant to tell you how good your avator looked in the old Cathe forums, but they shut it all down before I could!

Thanks again, everyone!

And my advice for those that might be thinking of doing a tri.... just DO it!! It is seriously awesome training and much gentler on my body than marathon training was!! They are FUN and I've gotten to love swimming and biking.

I got my race results, and I was thrilled to get 7th place out of 12 in my age group and 29th woman out of 49!! The sprint was smaller than the Olympic distance going on at the same time.

Now I'm considering a longer tri next month..... gotta get back to looking for a new bike!

Thanks again, and if anyone has *any* questions about the tri's or training please send me a PM or email and I can elaborate!! (meaning I'll go on and on about it..... LOL)

That's wonderful. Were you sore afterwards?

I was actually more sore in my lower back from leaning over the bike and some in my abs/ obliques?? (I think from the swimming!) My legs weren't too bad and I did Tony's One on One Plyo Legs today.

Thanks, Mary! Yeah, they actually thought the rain was pretty fun! LOL Are you talking about the back shot? I had just added that before they switched over! LOL Thanks!
