Iron Girl!!!

This last weekend I completed my first Triathlon down in Vegas. It was awesome! I went with one of my friends down the street and we stayed at the Monte Lago which was right on the Lake Las Vegas. There was a total of 8 of us that stayed there. We had a lot of fun and met new friends! This was the night before, when we were supposed to be in bed but instead we got these lovely tattoos from one of those little machines at Albertsons. We were trying to get pumped up, and I was trying to not throw up!

The girls in my ward. Great friends! Brandi, Me, Jamie, and Kim. (They all did this last year)

Brandi helped me so much to prepare for this, she is so amazing and beautiful! I can't thank her enough for putting up with me. We had many early mornings and late nights training.

Just about ready to start! Aren't we sexy?
Taking the plunge!
Finished the swim! This was my most emotional moment.
Heading out for my bike.
Our fan club caught the back of me finishing the bike.
And almost to the finish line!
Kenny was there to support me 100%, video camera and all.
My pretty new medal. I'm an Iron Girl!

It was such a great experience. Very empowering, exciting, emotional and one of the most thrilling things I have ever done. It felt so good to be able to accomplish something for me. The swim was 1/2 mile, 10 mile bike, and 5k (or 3.1 mile) run. My goal was to be under 2 hours, and my final overall time was 1 hour 53 min. So, I was pleased with that. There was a total of 529 women and that put me in 260th, right in the middle. I was pretty surprised with my run split. 31:23 which put me at 74th out of 529. So the challenge is out there for anyone who wants to do it with me next year!
