I am home, and I was feeling fine until a big fist of tired decided to punch me around 10:00pm this evening. I think I’m out for the count.
Photos, details to come. Just a few photos from my camera, though, as my batteries decided to die when I started taking pictures. And the batteries I bought at the convenience store near Bumpass apparently only had a little bit of juice left.
I texted a few of you today after the race: “Lost A LOT of time in the water, but I finished.” I made up a good bit of time biking and running, but the swim was so, so hard for me. Bah.
Thanks for all your support and hoorays and woo-hoos. All of you rock.

So I’ve been overwhelmed with blogging lately and am just catching up on your blog…did you do this tri with CJ from I3? I knew she had one coming up. And I’m glad you didn’t die! I’m tentatively planning to do a tri in the spring with my mother– pointers??

Hey, Kendra. If you’ve never done a tri, I highly recommend a sprint. Start training as soon as you can to build up endurance in the water. You’re probably amphibious, so you’ll probably be okay. For me, once I was out of the water, I was fine.
Hydrate, carbo load. Take everything at your own pace. It was a lot of fun.
