So there I was on race day, with the announcer in the pool area stating the swim will start in 5 minutes, and I’m playing damage control in the locker room. Good times. Nothing beats feeling like a 14 year old girl all over again. Too bad I couldn’t just tie a shirt around my waist and call it a day.
I suppose it was only fitting to add the above mess to the guaranteed blow out that Tri U Mah #3 was bound to be for me. In fact, several days in advance of gun time, my friend and I who do this every year together were jokingly calling this race: Dumpster Fire 2016.

After having a blast last year, we decided to race Tri U Mah again in 2016. I mean … who’s going to let a pregnancy slow them down? Or an ER visit for that matter?
So on that note, in what you can see is optimal race condition for me physically, the Saturday following my ER admission I meandered on down to the University of Minnesota Aquatics Center to throw down for my first official race of 2016.

Ever since I went to spectate the Wisconsin Ironman last year, I knew I was in trouble.
Why? Well, first of all, running is obviously something I already enjoyed, and biking wasn’t far behind that. Second, I’ve done duathlons in the past, and I knew they were fun. Third, I have been working on my swimming for about a year now.
So, 1+2+3 = time to start doing triathlons.
