We started the morning with nerves and smiles. I happened to be wearing a shirt commemorating my nick-name in college (Schauer-Power).
Julie...
Being numbered....although you can't see our right legs had our ages, it was a neat/odd to know the ages of EVERYONE.
We soon found Angela and posed for a picture.
GO BEAVS!
I was very nervous as we made our way to the lake.
The swim caps we were required to wear were a little flimsy and I was laughing as I failed to place it on my head several times. Angela finally helped me out.
I was super scared for the temperature of the water...however 76 degrees feels VERY warm at eight in the morning.
Julie is the first to exit the lake.
When I first saw this picture, I remarked that I recalled exiting the water alone. Wow, tunnel vision.
I'm super happy as I finish the bike section and run my bike to the transition area.
Julie waited and exited for the run with me.
And.... after a 3.1mile run... I am tired and relieved to be crossing the finish line with a time of 1 hour and 37 minutes!
Julie's Finish
The three girls after the event!
And a little arm muscle for the camera....I'm inspired to begin a lifting routine...nice arms Julie and Angela.
It was exciting!
We all finished and I may be ready
to train for another............
Congratulations. That looks like it was a fun day.
