Today Matthew and I participated in our first triathlon. We didn't individually complete the entire thing, but opted to create a relay with our friend Salem. We initially created the team with another friend, but she had something come up last minute and since Salem has lots of experience with triathlons and we needed someone who could swim in the open water, she volunteered! We had a lot of fun interacting with the other participants and switching off. E also had fun cheering everyone on! Another friend of ours, Amy, also participated for the first time, but she did it all on her own! I felt very proud of her and it made me really want to attempt to do the entire thing on my own next year.
After we finished the race we received pizza, fruit, chili, power bars and a glass cup with a Rochester Triathlon emblem on it. We also found out that our team came in 3rd place out of 13 teams!
Our Team!
