I'm A New York City Triathlete!!

Its Sunday night (10pm), and I've been up since 3:45am. I can't believe I haven't taken a nap yet, but the adrenaline has just been churning through my veins I guess.

Regardless, I am now a true triathlete, and was able to complete the 32 mile course of the very humid, and hilly NYC Tri in 3 hours and 41 minutes and 47 seconds. My goal was always to try to finish in under 4 hours, and there were definitely training sessions where I didn't think I'd be able to do it.

I'll provide a better update tomorrow, but just wanted to let everyone know that
1) I'm alive!!!!
2) I beat my expectations and
3) I am grateful for every single person that has supported me on this journey both financially for my fundraising and emotionally.

Its been a rough day, and my nerves are shot. Time to take a well-deserved sleep and get ready for the work week. (i probably should have taken tomorrow off, sigh)

Here's a sneak peak of some of the pictures from today. I have some great friends and coworkers who came out to watch me today, and I want to thank every single one of them for their presence and cheering!

It still hasn't hit me that I'm a triathlete, I did an endurance race, and 20 weeks ago, I couldn't even run a mile without being out of breath (and it would take me about 12-15 minutes to run that mile).
