The Hawk Island Triatholon 2009

On Sunday May 31st I thought I was going to be a Triathlete but I became a dualathelte. As many as you know I had my 3rd ear surgery March 31st and the Dr. said NO swimming. Prior to my surgery I had taken swimming lessons and had been swimming for about 4 months knowing that would be my weakest link. I pressed on with the race. I met some of the nicest people and made strong frienships with others during this training. (You all know who you are) The dedication and training for this was simply amazing. I had to take off from all excercise from March 31st until April 28th. I cannot believe how much was lost during those weeks but I still did the bike and run. I biked 10 miles in roughly 40 min and ran 3.1 miles in 26 min. So you all ask what is next well.....the St. Johns 10miler race is August 8th and training began today!!! All my fellow tri peeps are hopefully getting their run in today....lol...Here are few pictures of me before the race, on my bike and with my buddy from high school who did amazing. He took 44th out of 700, he swam 400m in 8:07, Biked 10 miles in 30:30, and ran his 3.1 miles in 20:20...He was so awesome....
