Miracles Still Happen

Josh and I did something very fun this weekend. We did our first triathlon together. This is Josh's 3rd and was my 1st. I was getting so excited for the triathlon yesterday and had good butterflies, but as the race neared closer and closer this morning my stomach starting turning. I looked at my sister Lauren, as we were walking our bikes to the transition area, and I said, "wait, why I am doing this?" I continued having those feelings as I made quite a few trips to the bathroom before the race started :) When all was said and done, everyone finished, and we had a great time. David and Eliza also did it with us. This was also David's first triathlon. I would also like to give some major props to Eliza for having a baby 2 months ago, and still doing amazingly. Just a tip for anyone else crazy enough to think about doing this. Practice open water swimming before the triathlon! No matter how many times you practice in a pool, it is soooo different. I think my heart rate went from about 80 beats a minute to about 200 a minute, just from shock value, it was really weird. Here's some pictures from the day.
