Well, the triathlon is over! I am so proud of myself for finishing! I was sooo nervous when it started that I had such a huge knot in my stomach. But, once I started I calmed down a little bit. I made pretty good time...I finished in 1 hour, which was my goal, so I am really happy about it. It was such a great feeling crossing that finish line...I was so happy, and it was so fun having everyone there cheering us on! I did better on the swim and run than I thought, but the bike was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. It was so fun to do it with my friends and family. Congratulations Anna, Katie, Amy and April! I am so proud of you guys, you did so awesome - and I am so happy we were all in it together. And, congratulations to me for competing and finishing my first triathlon!!
Here I am after I crossed the finish line. Sorry, this is the only picture you get. Don't think I am about to post a picture of me in my swimsuit and bike shorts :)

I absolutely fell in love with the characters in this book. The way it is written is so clever, and it is so much fun to read. I hardly ever get emotional when I am reading books, but this one really got me. I was so sad it when it was over. I highly recommend it...I loved it.

Yes we did do it! I thought it was so fun and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks for not posting any pictures of me in my suit either.
Amy
YEAH!!! You did it - that is amazing! I am seriously so proud of you! How do you feel?
I love that picture - you can see how excited and proud you are that you did this! SOOO CUTE!
as for the book - LOVE IT TOO. when i first started reading it, I wasn't super impressed. But after, I had so many people read it because it impacted me so much. Have you read a thousand splendid suns? it's depressing (not going to lie) but it is amazing.
LOVE YA!!!
Yeah for all of you! That's great!! I loved the Book Thief too. I loved the characters SO much, I just bawled at the end! It was such a powerful book. How do you get a photo of the book cover on your blog?? You know so many tricks!! :o)
YEAH!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! So sorry I backed out, but I'm so proud of all of you!
Yipee! Great job on completing your first tri. That is a great accomplishment. I am so glad you recommended a good book to read too. I have been looking for a good one. Thanks for the recomendation.
LIZ! I am so proud of you. I have promised myself to do a triathlon or a marathon after the baby comes. You have just re-inspired me. :)
I also LOVE The Book Thief! I read it a couple months ago and couldn't put it down. In fact, I think I read it in 2 days. Loved it.
Wow Liz, congratulations! That is seriously impressive!
Lily is so stinkin' pretty. She's getting big! We miss you guys and hope you're doing well.
Way to go Lizzy!
Yahoo! You did it. How long was each race? I have always wanted to do a tri, but am way too intimidated. I need to get Ryan doing something with me and this interests him too, just have to start out very little though!
We are so awesome...who would have ever thought we could do a tri...and do it well?! I'm proud of you and am looking forward to the next one! Way to go.
Liz congrats! I love me a triathlon. you made good time.
