My first triathlon sprint

It. was. awesome.

I'm totally hooked.

I definitely want and plan to do more :)

(thats me in the blue suit and white cap)

(Don't have any pix of me biking)

Finished 245 out of 1,176 women

I think thats pretty good.

The biggest thing I learned was how much nutrition affects your

training and performance.

It's like night and day when you eat well and when you don't.

I've got so much more to learn but one of these days

I would love to not be eating nearly as much processed foods

and seriously cutting back on my dessert/sugar intake.

One of these days...

bah...

I'm trying not to freak out.

I feel like I could have a mental/physical breakdown at any moment.

Volatile.

But I'm trying to keep this in mind:

Graham Cooke

‎"Tension does not mean that something is wrong...it means that something is happening! It is important that we step back from the stress so that tension does not become a friction. Tension tells us that we are close to something in the purpose of God, so make it a positive experience or lose control to the enemy."

That and 2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Trying to not let this thing take hold of me.
