I trained for 12 weeks, 6 days a week, alternating between swimming, biking, and running. It was a great way to get back into shape after the girls. It was both mentally and physically challenging. I trained at various times of the day. Mostly in 90-98 degree humid weather. Sometimes pushing the girls while running and sometimes pulling the girls on the bike. I learned a lot about myself and was able to obtain my goals in each category on race day. The day itself was gloomy. It was "wet suit" legal because the water temperature was so chilly. The ride was slippery because of the rain and surprisingly there was active traffic driving down the center of the cyclers. That stunk! The rain was most appreciated during the run when there was a constant misting on my face during the 5K. Our family in Williamsburg, VA was very hospitable and even came super early in the morning to cheer me on along side N. and the girls. Thanks N. for all you support!!!!!!!!!
