k, so on sunday my 3 yr old (who by the way is a very 'solid' 3 yr old) was flushing stuff down the toilet and i grabbed him out of the way...anyway, i did the whole 'bend and twist' thing and my back got really strained. Just my luck!

So since I have that half ironman this weekend and I actually want to finish, i have been doing some major resting. I didn't work this week at all. I sent my kids to the babysitter anyway, so I wouldn't have to lift them. I went to the chiropractor 3 times and also had a massage! Wow, I feel exhausted just re-cooping! 

Anyway, I have felt pretty good this morning. My back just feels a little tweeked now, so I attempted 3 miles on the TM and did pretty good!

So, my plan this saturday is to just go REALLY SLOW (which won't be hard anyway!) & see how my back feels and just play it by ear....oh, ya and have fun!

Im not sure how it will go, since I have only done 3 miles.....but at least I know I can complete 3 miles of the 70.3......!

Holy Cow....I did it!

I did the Utah Half Ironman Tri on sat. My first Tri ever! The morning of the race I woke up cursing my husband for talking me into signing up for this! 

All I have to say is running after biking that long.....UUUGGGGGG!

I feel like I got a huge education in triathlons.......looking back now, there is so many things I would have done different.....live and learn.

I am however very please with my time. I had several goals and mini self accomplishments for me!

I wanted to do it in under 6 hrs! I wanted to do the bike portion in under 3 hrs! This is the furthest I have ever rode my bike in my life! First open water swim with other people kicking and clawing! Got to kiss my hubby on the run course (I know cheesy!)

My only frustration is I walked over half of the run course. The bike trashed my legs and it was super duper hot!

Also, my back and knee felt pretty good the whole time!

*Will I ever do this again........hmmmmm........we will see!
