J-lo has nothing on me!

4 years ago after my surgery , one of my first goals was to complete a triathlon.   I have done the 3-day 60 mile walk, this year will be my third, and the 300 mile bike marathon, but  today, I completed my first triathlon.  It was amazing.   To think that 3 months ago, I did not know how to swim, and today, I swam 1/2 mile before riding the bike for 12 1/2 miles and running for 3.1 miles.   With all that I have achieved in the last 4 years, this was definitely one of the biggest achievements.   Set a BIG goal, then go out and get it, you are worth it, and it feels great.   Thanks for letting me share yet another great day.     Carol

Congratulations Carol!  What an awesome example as I begin my journey on 8-27-2008...Thank you for your inspiration, or should I say perspiration   Renee

You are truly an inspiration. I don't know how to swim either and I have always been afraid because I figure that I am so heavy I will just sink to the bottom. I did set swimming as one of my bigger goals.
