I DID IT!

January 22, 2011 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

I did it.

I finished.

triathlon

I completed a triathlon.

In the rain and wind no less.

You have no idea how much this means to me.

I was elated when I finished.

triathlontriathlon

Super tired now, so no race recap until tomorrow.

(Plus I need my times!)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Thank you all for believing in me.

Thank you all for supporting me.

I truly love you.

    Hi Mary,

    I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, but never commented before – but just wanted to say how awed and inspired I am by you. To complete a triathalon is something I could never imagine doing, and to do it in the driving rain and finish with a smile on your face is just incredible – well done, you should be so, SO, SOOOO proud of yourself!
