Two years ago my brother in law Brad was training to do this triathlon and was killed in a plane accident the week before the race. Now it has become a yearly tradition for our family. Erik did it last year, and this year my SIL Jen invited me to do a relay with her. She did the swim, our friend Amy did the bike, and I did the run.
Our relay was the last heat to go out, Jen started the swim at about 10 and I didn't start running until about 11:30, so it was HOT. I had been drinking all morning, trying to stay hydrated, and went pee right before the run, but my bladder isn't so great since having kids. And me, being a dumb A, wore blue shorts, instead of forgiving black ones. So over the course of 3 miles some pee leaked out. Luckily I passed a water station before the finish line and I dumped cups of water over me so it looked like sweat. My goal was to finish in 35 min and I did it in 33, so I was proud, even if I did pee my pants.
Now my friend Lindsey talked me into a half marathon in August, so I have something to keep me motivated to exercise.

Great Job Skye-I never could understand why people would stop to pee, I think I would just pee my pants as well!! I cant wait to start running-NOT!! I am seriously trying to decide if running is for me or if I should just become a body builder. I think lifting is much more fun!!
You look buff. Bravo!
