My hubby and I did a little triathlon (sprint distance) today at the Alta Rec Center. It was only a 400 meter swim, a 9 mile bike, and a 5k. This was the same triathlon I did last year in my first triathlon effort. I did do better this year than last but didn't quite hit my goal. I would've liked to have finished 2-3 minutes faster than I did, but at least it was 3 1/2 minutes faster than last year. Here are my stats...
Total Time: 1 hr 14 min 13 sec
I placed 4th out of 29 females 30-34 (my age group)
I placed 20th out of all 135 females participating
And I placed 63rd out of a total of 238 participants on race day
This was my fourth triathlon ever. It's been a fun road. Maybe I'll see some of you on it...because as tough as it is, I still have a long way to go before I've hit my limit.
Here we are...tough guys...showing our numbers (145 & 146)

Way to go, Julie!! You did an awesome job!
Good for you. I only wish I had half of your ambition.
Awesome! I'll see you on the road next year.
good job. if you want to do a really fun (and huge) tri- check out captextri. it's in Ausin, has thousands of participants, and is really fun. Memorial Day Weekend. I plan to be there for 2009.
Julie - Congrats on the triathlon. Tracy told me your blog was on hers so I thought I would drop you a line. Your kids are so cute and grown up. You've come a long way since Liberty Square. Glad to see you are using your talents.
Wish I could have been there with you. Good job! I think that I'm going to start training for an olympic distance triathlon. There are a few people here that are thinking about participating in their first olympic distance tri next summer. I'm considering it. I've got to do something. I've had a pretty lazy summer and my stomach is proof! :)
Cute new blog look!
I'm going to try a sprint distance in open water before I do olympic distance. The sprint distance in open water is 1/2 mile and in olympic, it's a mile. Open water is harder to swim in so I've gotta see how I handle that first. But it'd be great to have someone to train with, like you will. GO FOR IT, Jenni!
Good Job! Maybe someday I'll try doing something like that too!
I love the new look of your blog!! I've been trying to pick a new one, too, but they have too many for me to choose from!
Good for you! That's awesome and I admire your dedication!
If only I had the desire to run...hmmm...nope, not doing it. ;)
Congratulations Julie!!! You are such and inspiration!!! Really, you are.
Thanks, Amberlyn. You're an inspiration to me on motherhood. I mean it. You go girl!(and keep swimmin')
