Four Year Anniversary of Triathlons
The In Motion Fitness Tri for Fun yesterday marked my fourth year of doing triathlons. My first tri event was on June 7, 2003. I had never been in the lap pool before, and hadn't ridden my bike in at least 5 years - but somehow I was able to finish it. I remember being sore, tired, and hungry - but with an incredible feeling of accomplishment that I hadn't experianced in years.
It was really fun to watch the other finishers come in. Many of them were first timers, and even though they were tired and beat up, they had grins on their faces that just wouldn't go away.
It took me just over an hour and a half to finish, I went home and relaxed for an hour or two, then after lunch finished a concrete project that I had been putting off for a long time. We had dinner, then I went out with my son and another friend to play tennis. Today, I was up at 6:30 for a bike ride up to Paradise and back. While the concrete work yesterday left me a little stiff, I felt good, and the ride and the company was great.
