First Tri

John and I decided to do the St. George Olympic distance triathlon last weekend. We thought it would be great practice for our Ironman which it was. It was very informative as to what I need to work on so I am better prepared for the big race. I felt great when I finished and really enjoyed the race. I tried not to think about the fact that for the Ironman I will have to swim twice as far, bike 5 times as far and then run 4 times as far....no problem right? I did place 3rd in my age group which was very exciting. I had the fastest bike time in my age group and I wasn't the slowest swimmer so hey, things are looking promising...and my hamstring injury is getting better everyday. Hopefully by August it won't hurt at all. I am so glad we did the race. Practice makes perfect right? I hope so, oh how I hope so!
