So You're Saying There's a Chance...!?

I am an Iron Girl!

You can refer to me as the Iron Girl from now on. I did it! Yup, 1 down and 99 more to go off my bucket list. The Iron Girl is a HUGE accomplishment, in case you weren't aware. It is a Triathlon down in Las Vegas. She is a swim, a bike, and a run. I only did the Sprint Triathlon (swim=.5mile, bike=10mile, run=3 mile)...and it was tough. I must say, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was. I found out once I was in route during the 10 mile bike going up a hill, and have NEVER ridden a road bike in my life. Well, apparently a Road bike compared to a Mountain bike is COMPLETELY different. Ya, needless to say...never rode a "Road" bike in my life until I was in route going up this tremendous hill climb. The whole 10 miles was about 3/4 uphill....it was a beast. I guess next time I will know what to expect. The swim was the easiest for me, except when a girl almost took me down to the bottom of the lake! Ya, I hear screaming...then look up with my goggles, and this girl right next to me is flaying around and going under. Thank goodness 2 other girls were already almost to her to hold her up above the water. My lifeguard like reflexes almost kicked into gear, but then I thought...Heck, I have a race to win! So I went on my merry way. It was such a great experience, I had a great time. And watch out, they get addicting. I already want to do another one!
