10 Reasons to Tri

My sister and my SIL have done a great job recapping our first triathlon experience. It was an emotion-filled weekend that ended on a high note! We all accomplished the triathlon, and quite successfully if I do say so myself!


Top 10 Reasons to "Tri"

10. You get to go out for dinner with the girls the night before and not feel guilty for loading up on pasta!


9. You earn an honorary degree in meteorology by checking weather.com every few minutes.


8. You learn about cogs, derailuers, chain rings, bricks and shot blocks.


7. You discover new parts of your community by riding 25 miles on your bike!



6. You get to convince the Starbucks boy that he should open his drive through a few minutes early to give coffee to 4 crazy ladies on their way to a race in the pouring rain.



5. You get to be part of a great team raising money and awareness for a good cause.


4. You get to have numbers marked all over your body...a badge of triathlon honor!

Yes, these really are our legs. I'm on the far right. : )

3. You get to realize that you can accomplish much more than you ever thought possible.

2. You and your friends get to wear matching swim caps.


1. You decide you like the adrenaline rush and decide to sign up for another race this summer!
