Tsunami Triathlon

Saturday, I competed in my Second Triathlon! I wanted to do one shortly after the first one I did, so this one was perfect! The Swim was only a 400 Meter, half of what my last one was and it was also in a pool, the bike was 12 Miles, and the Run was 3.3 Miles. The way they started was a little different from the last. They mixed up the Gender on who to start, but based it on the time you swim, so who ever was the fastest started First, and then every 10 seconds, they had another person jump in and so forth. I was up in the front, surrounded by Men, so that was a little intimidating, but once I got in and started swimming, I was actually catching up to the guys in front of me, so that was good!! No one was behind me the whole time Thank Goodness!!

The bike route seemed confusing when looking at it on the map, but once I started going, they had really good marks and people to guide us where to go, so it turned out great! Part of the Bike was on the New Legacy Trail and then wrapped around to go back to the Bountiful Rec Center. I really pushed myself to go faster on the bike!!

The Run is what I really wanted to improve on from my last Triathlon. My goal was to keep running and not stop!! Well, I DID IT!!! I never stopped!! The course was a rectangle which didn't have hills or anything, so that was nice!! It just inclined towards the end of the race. About 3/4 of the time, I had a guy running the exact same pace as I was, so he was my running buddy for a while! It was nice to have him with me because it helped me to not want to stop or anything!!

So overall, I did really well!! Unfortunately I can't find the results of my individual times, which I'll post once I get them, but the total time I did the race, was about 1:25:00. Not sure on the exact time, but that was what I remember! Another cool thing though is that I got 5th place out of my age 25-29 Division!! My friend Emily got 4th, so we are quite proud about that!!!

Doing these Triathlons are Amazing!!! It's such a good feeling to accomplish them!! I will be doing 2 more this year, The Herriman one in August and then the Lake Powell one in October!! My Sister Amie is planning on doing that one with me, so I'm way excited!!! As for now, I'm going HardCore on my P90X!! Wish me luck with that!! It kicks your Booty!!!!

A little bit of Hip Hop and P90X

I am way excited to say that I now have all of the P90X workouts!! I've been wanting to do them for a long time now!! Yesterday was my first Day doing it and let me just say, it Kicks your booty!! Literally!!!! My butt is so sore today!!! I love it though!!! Definitely the hardest workouts I've ever done!!

I also went to Hip Hop class last night. Every Monday, I'll be doing either a Jazz or Hip Hop class. It was so much fun!!! I love getting back into dancing!!

Today, I'll be getting in the pool to swim!! Got 4 more days till my next Triathlon!!!

What's Happening...

So, last week was my recovery week. This week, I've been back into my training for my next Triathlon on the 26th! Monday, my workout was doing a Jazz Dance class, very different I know, but it was so fun and a good workout too!! Tuesday, I swam a 1200, and Today I went to my cycling class for an hour and ran 30:00. I feel like the biggest thing I need to work on is my endurance, especially with my running! This Triathlon is a 400 meter Swim, 10 MIle Bike, and a 5k Run. Of course the run is the same!! Gotta love that!! I am so looking forward in beating my running time from the last one!! Gotta push myself!!!

Next Triathlon!!!

So, if you read my other Blog, I go into much detail of my Amazing experience at the Salem Triathlon and am ready for more!! My next Triathlon in on the 26th of June in Bountiful!!! It's a 400 Meter Swim, 10 Mile Bike, and 5k Run, so a little bit shorter than the other one. The swim is in a pool, so we'll see how that goes! I am very excited and am ready to get myself ready for it!!!! Hoping to kick butt with my running!

It's Here and I'm Ready to Rock it!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the Big Triathlon is finally here!!!! I am so ready to give it my all!!!
Wish Me Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ready, Set, Go!!!

I am getting so pumped for Saturday!!! It's almost here!!

Today I rode for an hour. I feel like I'm getting the hang of my bike! There are a lot of hills where I live, so it's good for the training! Not much fun, but still good for me!! Then yesterday, I went to the High School Track and ran the 5k. It went better than I thought! I kept it at a steady pace the whole time. I know it's gonna be much tougher for me Saturday since it's the last of the three, but at least I feel good to push myself and know that I can do it!!! So, we'll see how it goes!!

Did I mention that I am EXTREMELY excited?
