Sprint Tri part 1

Hiya everyone! I am back after surviving my very first triathlon! I tried to take lots of candid pics ala 'a day in the life of', so be prepared this is a very long post.. actually it's a two part-er because I was having trouble uploading so many pics.
Ok, Day 1, Saturday before the tri I made a gigantic breakfast for the family; I guess it would was a sort of ploy to get the kids' attention away from me packing up the Jeep :)

(still working on the candid day in the life of pics, I've programed the kiddos to say 'Cheese' every time I pull the camera out)

Packing for the road trip-- tons of Gatorade to keep me hydrated, PB&J's for before, during and after the race... and what would a road trip be without a cold meatloaf sandwich?

(mmm, meatloaf)

The Jeep is packed, and I am off.

And of course, I got lost. Someone please buy me a GPS! Thank goodness for this cute little country store.

(Dinner time!)




What does a triathlete eat before a race? I am not too sure, so I just stuffed my face with whatever looked good.

Pre-race coaching

And the finish! A beautiful sight!

Off to bed, getting up at 4:30 am for the big day!
