Reliving the Dream ... pics of my first TRI


It’s now almost 2 weeks post-race and the race pics have just been posted. With my workouts slowing down, I need to relive the moment so here are some action shots!
The BEFORE pic...Race time. Even though showers were forecast, the sun was shining on us that day!
1- My inaugural tri so you guessed it, one of the first on the scene. I had already been at the reg table for about an hour by this point!


2- Just before the gun! Notice the waves visible ABOVE the heads of the racers...


 
3- We're off. Wasn't easy getting past the first few swells!

4- I'm somewhere on the far left...


 
5- Finishing the swim, Gameface is ON! Actually, i was a little wobbly at this point after getting thrown around in the surf.





6- Trying to make up some time after a sub-par swim.  Headwind!


7- Salt marsh and me.



8- Feeling good at this point and just taking it all in!


9- Yup!

10- Not gonna lie- Kirk has a much cooler victory dance than I!

11- Telling war stories already!



My photographer (dad!) taking an accidental photo of himself! May have to convince him to take part in a relay next year!?!

Time to keep the dream alive and recommit to training!!!
