"Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be." Ok, that sounded like a smartass comment, but really it's true! I'm super jealous that you did a triathlon. DAMN GIRL! That's truly impressive and something I've always dreamed of doing, but never thought I would have it in me. Because like you, I too fear the swim...and the chaffing that follows when jumping on that bike in a wet suit. Alright, TMI. Sorry. Congrats though Jenny! And sorry my congrats are well overdue, but you'll have to forgive because this is the first time I've heard about your amazing athletic feat. Big hug. :) Reading this post made me want to break out in song, singing Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings”…

My uncle just did a similar tri (.5 mi, 15mi, 3.1mi I think) last Saturday out in Maryland. He's done a bunch recently, and said he actually does most of the swim on his back. So don't feel bad about switching, just start training on your back for next time! :) Congrats again!

I have to say...I've taken the last three days off working out - EXCEPT for a swim on Monday to prove to myself that I knew how - LOL :) <strong>Monica</strong> - you'll have to let me know if you ever try that push up - sounds tough! <strong>Megan</strong> - good to know that eels aren't a threat :) That was mostly just my irrational fear of swimming in open bodies of water - I doubt this lake even had them! <strong>Royce</strong> - no plans to do another one (yet) but you never know! giving myself a little break for now :) Monica, Megan, Blake, Royce and Sheema – thanks so much for the congrats!
