Iron Girl 2009


Before the Race looking a little nauseous


I was all smiles after!


Kim and I after the Race

What a crazy and fun weekend we had this last weekend. We headed down to Las Vegas on Friday, which was our one year anniversary, for the Aflac Iron Girl Triathlon. Early Saturday morning we woke up and headed to the course. I was so nervous and kept telling myself I wasn't prepared and that I couldn't do it. I knew there was no turning back when I was in my wet suit in the corral. The swim took me longer than anticipated and it was a huge mental battle, but after that I had a BLAST! I would recommend a triathlon to anyone. I completed both my goals, I finished and had fun! Thanks to Kim for answering all my questions and being such a huge support! Also, I have to thank Tyler for being there through the whole thing and cheering the loudest!
