I DID MY FIRST EVER TRIATHLON!

Well… I did it guys!! Got out of my comfort zone of training and tried something I’ve never tried before and the experience was just awesome! Just so everyone has a background this specific sprint triathlon was 1/2 mile swim, 7.78 miles on bike and 3.2 mile run (I believe).

Straight up like this was wayyy harder than I thought it was gonna be to be honest… like that swim man, when so many people are around you and everyone is confused is just a different type of experience you can’t get anywhere else.

What I loved really was how much everyone clearly was sucking throughout this whole thing, including me, bro when you bike up hill for 8 miles straight it’s a different pain. But everyone was feeling that same pain.

A big thing that I think needed was being humbled, when your 22 and think your in good shape and then a 67 year old passes you and a 15 year old passes you, at that point you embrace it and you realize “alright I’m not nearly as good as I thought I was”

But overall I’m really happy that I got it done, the run I was probably the happiest with even though I know clearly I can improve upon that! The swim just needs some getting used to and the biking needs the most work for sure, I swear it could be cause of my bike, but maybe it’s my baby quads.

Honestly looking again back to that 13/14 year old who never even thought of dong shit like this cause I was too much in a place of comfort, and now literally putting my self in a position to get physically uncomfortably is just an awesome feeling! Also I signed up for a half marathon at the end of September so fucking HYPED!!
