I guess you could say I tri-ed

Did I mention that I did a triathlon about a month back? I did basically no preparation for this tri and nearly came in last. Only three people came in behind me and 6 people didn't finish (so I guess I did better than 9 people).

I'll try and post more details about it but of course I seem to only think about posting when I'm about to fall asleep. I wanted to get this picture of myself up before I wait any longer and chicken out.

The best thing about this picture is that my daughter saw me coming and broke away from my husband and ran through the finish line right behind me. I actually purchased this picture because of her.

The only thing that motivated me at all during this race was to try and not keep the race officials waiting on me to roll up the finish line.

I'm scheduled to do another one in a month and one in Sept. I really don't want to. I still haven't been able to stick to a workout routine and just don't want to struggle when I'm not prepared.

I've also been eating like there's no tomorrow.
Anywhoo, enjoy the picture, it looks like I'm running about two miles per hour.
