On Saturday morning, I packed up the car and headed with my husband, my 4 yr old daughter, my bike and my “gear” to Sandy Hook, NJ where the next day I’d be participating in my first triathlon.


Congratulations Debbie!!!!
Your post and descriptions has been so inspiring- and I have to say that when I read about your husband and daughter cheering you on in the bike leg I got shivers, and tears came to my eyes. Well done!! I know that you have to be SO happy with yourself at the moment, and your dh and dd too!
Sally sounds like she really got you ladies revved up the day before.
I love the mantra-
“The woman who starts the race is not the same woman who finishes the race.”

WOO HOO! Way to go Debbie!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post that. Very inspiring! Makes me want to work towards the marathon they have here in July. However, I've only just started running so we'll see.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Debbie that was an awesome post, and one that I'm going to share (if you don't mind!!)!!!
You go Miss "Passing on your left". I think that is great. You are a true inspiration.
What a great post i am tempted to look for a triathlon in my area. That would be a hoot if your posts motivates us to enter our own races. I am sure your family is as proud of you as we are.

Debbie,
How long had you been training or planning to do your triathlon? Did this help you make healthier choices about exercise and food over a longer term basis?
