I DID IT!!!

I think you are all sick of hearing about this, but I just have to brag one more time because, to tell the truth, I'm really proud of myself! So here are the pix from my race today. We didn't get any while I was swimming, but I can tell you that I was the first person out of the pool in my heat, which I was really surprised about, but also very happy. But don't worry, because there were PLENTY of people who passed me on my bike and while I was running.

This hill was KILLER! This was about 2/3 of the way through the bike and this was the last HUGE hill I climbed. Seriously, the picture does not give it justice.
Rounding the corner and flashing a "hang loose" sign or something.
I finished! I know, very charming hair... don't stare too closely. You might turn to stone.
Here I am flexing my guns for my fans. HA! Right...
This was my number. The F stands for female, in case they couldn't tell. Just kidding, it really did stand for female, but it meant I was in the individual female category.
This is on the front of my t-shirt.

Okay, so here is a VERY SHORT video of me just before I crossed the finish line. I ended up finishing in 1 hour 49 minutes and 15 seconds or something close to that.
Anyway... I hope you enjoyed my self-inflicted suffering! Overall, it was fun and definately a big accomplishment for me. I hope to be able to do it again next year, and I will for sure have to beat my time!
