battle at midway

mark and I completed our first ever triathlon last month. I was so nervous before the race and kept wondering why I actually paid to go through such torture, but it turns out that we both actually had fun! I loved the swim and the bike legs of the race, but the run was horrendous, the first mile was straight uphill!! but we both finished alive and are excited to train for more triathlons in the future. I am definitely glad that we did it together, since mark had to practically drag me out of bed most mornings-- he's a good training buddy :)


proof that I did actually finish the race! mark finished before me but came back and ran the last leg with me so we could cross the finish line together. (so you know those girls who always look cute when they work out and hardly seem to break a sweat? clearly I am not one of those girls)


the sweet action shot they took of mark (so intense... we don't mess around)
