Pasadena Whole Foods Triathalon

In March Eli, Trey, my dad, and myself ran a triathlon. We ran 3.1 miles, biked 9 miles, and swam 150 meters. I was so nervous the night before but was able to get a good nights sleep, woke up at 5:30am and was ready to go. We had 3 goals: finish, don't get hurt, and not be the last ones to cross the line. I am happy to report that we were able to accomplish all of them. As part of the race we weren't able to use music, which was really hard for me. Eli runs faster than I do so I was and am very greatful for my dad who did the whole thing with me. The hardest part was running to the pool after running and biking. When we were starting our last lap on the bike they said we needed to finish in 20 minutes, which I let psych me out for a few minutes. My mom, Necia and her family, Trey and Hope, were waiting for us to get in the pool when the said that with in a few minutes they were going to close the pool. My mom started to cry knowing how much we have worked for it, and Trey came out to tell us to kicked it into another gear. Well we made it!!!!! My dad is a better swimmer than us so he finished just before us. Although Eli entered the pool after me he was able to pass me, but waited so we could finish together. Trey decided that he was going to push it as hard as he could and so he finished about 30 minutes before us, which was nice to have him cheering us on. We had so much fun doing it we are looking forward to doing it again next year.
