17 No More

This morning we all woke up "dark" and early to head up to the Scera Pool for the Share a Smile Triathlon relay. You see, about 3 weeks ago Jason forwarded me an email begging for someone to participate with Aribex in the swimming portion of the relay. I volunteered. It didn't take long before I regretted it. LOL.

That day we headed to Big 5 to purchase some goggles and a swim cap. The next morning I headed to the city rec center to get back in the water for the first time in at least 9 years. My arms were beyond sore...the ache set in before I was even done swimming. Anyway, I trudged off to the pool a handful of times during these past weeks to "train."

I could bore you with tons of details and insights, but instead I'll just say...I'M SOOO NOT 17 ANYMORE! The picture below is of me post race, right before I "tossed my (pre-race banana and water) cookies" by a nearby tree.

Addie woke from her nap and I couldn't wait to try something quick and easy :)
