Well done, Ali. Good on you for your focus and tenacity. Truly an inspiration to get going with those 'secret' desires we wish to pursue ourselves. Congratulations!
I can 'hear' the joy in your voice as I read this post. Congratulations on completing the tri. It is great that you started your athlete journey while your kids are young, I started when my youngest was 10 and I don't know what a waited for. I am a better mom and person when I feel healthy, not to mention, able to keep up with the rest of the family. Way to go, Ali!
I so remember reading this post...And thought WOW and now I am thinking WOW WOW WOW. Good for you. What a wonderful wonderful accomplishment. I cannot imagine even making it through ONE of the events. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Congradulations!!!
too funny! I did the SAME thing for my first time on saturday. My mom, who is an avid reader of your blog, messaged me this morning and told me to come over and read this. I guess being in a triathlon is the new thing for 2010 :) But next year my mom is joining me.
Congrats! Well done!
