On Sunday morning, my darling wife ran her first triathlon. A half-mile swim, 12 mile bike, and 3 mile run. And a whole heck of a lot of training to prepare for it.
Over the past several months, she has dedicated herself to racquetball, weightlifting, running, biking, swimming, walking … you name it, almost anything to better her condition.
Her goal was to complete the race in two hours. She beat that by nearly fifteen minutes. In her first triathlon. On a cold and rainy morning.
I am so proud of her.
I have to give a shout out to the Kitsap Tri Babes, the group of a hundred or so women from our area who have met every Saturday and Tuesday
for the last several months to train together, inspire each other, and encourage each other through the difficult moments of Sunday’s race.
