Well I can now say it...I am a triathlete. My first tri was pretty much awesome. The swim was first and it was definitely my worst event. As you can see in the pic below I am getting passed. ha When I got in I starting swimming way faster then I had been practicing and got way out of breath fast. It's like I could never calm myself down and just enjoy it. So the swim was not good. Even Nate said he was worried about me finishing when he watched me swim. haha Biking was awesome. Definitely my strongest event. I got on the bike with a huge grin on my face and started passing people, which was great since a few of them had just passed me on the swim. The bike route also had the biggest hill I have ever been on, it was pretty miserable but awesome at the same time. After the bike came running. I found a running mate and we started talking which always helps me do better. We ran pretty much the whole way together, it was great to have someone push me. I ended up averaging a 8 min 30 sec mile which I was very pleased with. You finish up on a track which was cool. Here are a few action shots:
I told Nate he had to take a picture with me since he supported me in my working out everyday for 3 months. He was cheering me on everytime I saw him.
Me and my sister-in-law did the triathlon together, it was fun having someone else there that I knew. She pretty much kicked my butt in swimming, she did awesome! At this point I think we were pretty tired.Final Results: 3rd place in my age group
So yesterday I get a phone call from my dad asking if I would like to go to the jazz game, 17th row, center court. Of course I say yes! I had to break the bad news to nate (there were only 4 tickets), he thought we should have flipped a coin and didn't think it was fair I automatically got to go. It was pretty funny. Here is us before the game, of course we were way excited because it was the final game of the year and a huge game. If the jazz win, they are 2nd or 3rd place with homecourt advantage, if they lose, 5th place no homecourt advantage. The jazz came out pretty strong considering they only had 3 of their 5 starters but the second quarter killed them. It ended up being a blowout and we left with over 6 minutes in the 4th. So the jazz will be playing Denver in the playoffs and I think if they are healthy they can beat them but I also think Carmelo could go crazy on them. If you can't tell I'm a huge jazz fan. Half-time was pretty neat, they did a spotlight on Larry H. Miller, hung a jersey and also are renaming the court the Larry H. Miller court. All in all it was still a fun night, even though I should have been studying for a huge test that now I'm stressing over. haha
I had a great time this weekend hanging with my little niece and her fam. Shopping and pedicures on Saturday, getting Bella a cute lil bikini. I can't get over this pic, what a chunk! I love babies in bikinis when they are fat, so hilarious. Next time we hang out I hope I'll be visiting them in sunny Las Vegas. Is anyone else so done with school!?!? I'm struggling to go to class and I have to keep telling myself, only two more weeks and then I'm done until the fall. Taking only one class this semester sounds easy but it is has been really hard to motivate myself and I'd almost prefer a full schedule even though I love my free time. Found out I got into the Elementary Ed program at UVU, very excited to finally take classes I like and feel like there is an end to school in my future.
Has anyone tried netflix? I just signed up for the 1-month free trial but I have a feeling I'll be keeping it. Last night I watched three movies and I already have one coming in the mail. Nate and I usually aren't movie people, we feel like it is a waste of money, and we never take our movies back. (Our first experience with redbox ended up costing $7 for one movie). haha Netflix is so cheap it's hard to resist though, and no late fees for us!
