Triathlon Addendum

I forgot two very important parts of my triathlon that need some recognition...

1. If it weren't for my friend Melanie I never would've done the race. More importantly I just wanted to share how awesome she is because she completed the race after having a baby less than five months ago. She is a warrior!

2. I never did have to use the $25 helmet I begrudgingly bought at Walmart because Melanie's cousin happened to have an extra helmet. Given it was for a little kid so it was purple and pink with flowers...but it fit fine and allowed me to return the unused $25 helmet and receive a full refund! Thanks Melanie! I laugh thinking about my ammature self, participating in the triathlon, wearing a little girl's helmet. If I didn't stick out like a sore thumb to begin with...the helmet really put the frosting on the cake. But hey, I didn't get disqualified! :)

I've recently realized that it isn't where you finished, it is that you had the bravery and fortitude to enter and compete. Nice job Britty!!

I am glad we are still friends, even though I essentially put you through this rollercoaster of emotional turmoil and physical exhaustion leading up to (and during) the race. :) I had a ton of fun, and enjoyed it even more knowing you were doing too. And you really did do so awesome! I am glad we could get rocked on the mt. bikes together - hah! Thanks again!

You are amazing. I loved reading about your triathalon. Thats about as close as I'll get to one. Good for you. I'm glad to hear you could return the helmet. Funny I know. But that kind of thing drives me crazy too!
