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!
Me, Katt, and Brandi.
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!

If I don't have a baby in my tummy this time next year! I'm in....Wait I can't swim, would that be a problem.....
I would love to do it. Give me a heads up next year and maybe I could round up a few girls to go. Good for you!! Major accomplishment..
How awesome! Way to go!
Okay, you must've been feeling pretty good near the end to give a thumbs-up to the camera.
I'm planning on doing the Pocatello Reverse Tri in August. Are you going to do anymore this year? I haven't really been training, though because I've been too focused on the half marathon.
Sounds like you did awesome. Congrats on such a cool accomplishment.
I am totally jealous. I was training for a triathon when I got pregnant with the twins. In between we were too busy with the house, and now here I am again pregnant! I would absolutely love to do this...
You are awesome!
Way to go Meagan! You did AWESOME!
So awesome!
You should be so proud of yourself.
Way to go Maeg! I am so jealous! I wish I could run and bike and swim, my old body geez! You are such an amazing person!!
Way to go Maegan! That had to take a lot of dedication to train, especially with 3 kiddos. Your mom looked a little worn out on Sunday. Your boys are darling! What an awesome accomplishment!
You are so amazing! Give me any details that you can on how to get ready and I will totally do it with you! I am wanting to do something like this so bad! What a great accomplishment! Congrats!
That is so, so fantastic! You amaze me! Great job!
Awesome Job!! I bet that feels so good to accomplish that. You look so good and FIT!!
Hey congrats, it looks like you had fun and it is great to accomplish something work so hard to do.
Congrats on such a great accomplishment! That is so cool!!
I rode a couple different road bikes yesterday trying to find the "perfect" one for me. I walked away empty handed. I told the sales guy I needed to do more research. So, here I am, doing research. :) What kind do you have and do you have any recommendations?
You could totally do the run. I'm not gonna lie, the training was a little rough. Mostly because there are so many boring long runs. But I am planning on doing the Top of Utah. You should do it.
Do you think triathlons are easier than half marathons? I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly how to train for my tri. I'm thinking about doing a tri in Logan in July, too. It's at the Aquatics Center so it's a pool swim. Are you interested?
Way to go Maeg!
Great job Maegan, we are so proud of you. Love Ma Stark
Oh Maegan. You are way too kind to me. You know I wouldn't have done any training without you. I can't function by myself. :) Anyway, I'm so proud of you, and your awesome time. Can't wait until next year!
