And the winner is...

Lindsay Dodds!  You all thought I pulled something out of my hat and won today didn't you?  Well, we ran our mini-triathalon today.  I was SO happy with how I did.  I ran and biked both under 30 minutes a piece.  That's over 3 minutes shaved off on my run and almost 2 minutes on my bike since earlier this week.  I was a bit slower on my swimming than my fastest time, but I was lucky not to drown at that point.  I did all three in one hour and 15 minutes.  Now the funny thing is that my good friend Lindsay Dodds won!  At least we think that's the unofficial decision. Everyone was in different heats, so the results won't come out for sure until next week.  She did it in just over 57 minutes and everyone was in awe at how fast she was.  She didn't even really train that hard...but is just an amazing girl.  I feel inspired to know her :).   I was just happy not to be last!  There were at least four other behind me when I left...so I'm happy.  I think we're going to do another one in April.  If I could figure out how to really swim, I think I could take 10 minutes off that time.  It's really nice to have something to actually work towards instead of just a goal to "loose weight".  Ironically enough, I thought for sure training for this thing I'd loose some...it's kind of ticking me off that I haven't!  I guess it's time to change my diet eh?

Yeah for Lindsay. I am so excited for you. It is just great to say you accomplished it. It does help to have something to work for that is for sure.

Way to go Kristy! That is awesome. I don't think I could do a triathalon if I tried!

By the way I have become a follower of yours, as if I don't already follow your blog. Have a great week.
