I love to sing. Is that new information to anyone out there? Certainly not to my family who can still sing along to "Sunlight! Come together with starlight! And together we'll shine, in the great, great big sky."
Yeah, that was just a song I made up when I was five.
Somehow out of all the numbers out there I was lucky enough to get the race # 123 tattooed all over my arm, legs, on my helmet, shirt, and on my bike.
Singing songs in my mind has always been my favorite race trick. Just think of the possibilities the numbers 123 gave me to sing! But somehow one little line from a children's song literally pushed me through the last 2 miles of the race. Over and over and over and over I sang,
"Some people are quick and have a fast pace, but slow and steady wins the race."
I didn't win the race but we did swim a 1/2 mile, bike 18.9 miles, and run 5 miles. For some reason that feels just as cool.
And now, I will stop blogging about this. :)

Congratulations!! That is huge!! And I didn't know that you were training for it while you were pregnant!! Suddenly I'm feeling really out of shape:) I wish I was there to cheer you on! I'm interested to hear your comparison of a triathalon to a marathon. Let's talk:)
