Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Gretchen, Geri and all of you who send me thoughts and well wishes - I just wanted to let you all know that yesterday I completed the London Sprint Triathlon. This is a 750m swim (about half mile) a 20km bike (about 13 miles) and 5 km run (3.5 miles, and in my case a walk). Even with my bad elbow and revised goals, I managed to finish in one piece in 2.5 hours. Not bad considering I took it nice and slow in the swim and bike to give my elbow a rest. I am so excited to have done this. I really think that exercise is just crucial in maintaining our fitness and well being. The training for the triathlon has been hard, and hard to start things again after a year off, but so worth it. I feel really pleased today and like I accomplished a lot. And the sun was shining and it was warm and today is the same (and tonight we have a big celebration BBQ) so I really could not ask for more. Thanks everyone for all your kind thoughts again. Stay tuned - I may push the boat out and sign up for another!
