I DID IT! My first triathlon that is. I and two of my friends, Lisa and Louise (pictured below in the group photo), participated in the Gold Nugget Triathlon (GNT) a women only event in Anchorage, AK Sunday, May 20th. The swim was 500 yds in a pool (10 laps), the bike portion was 10 miles, and the run was 4.1 miles. There were over 1160 finishers and I placed 622 overall and 78th out of 156 in my age group. My goal was to finish in under 2 hours and I finished in 1 hour 45 minutes. The sun was shining, my family was there to help me celebrate, and Cedric ran out to greet me near the end of the race and even ran a few paces alongside me. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
