Whew! Finished the Willard Triathlon with no knee problems! Not a bad time either, all things considered.
The swim was crazy. There were a lot of people flailing and grabbing in the pool and it was like a little mini war getting through that part.
Then the bike ride went smoothly and I took it pretty easy on the run at the end. I was a little worried about my knee a couple of times, but it never developed any more than a slight nagging pain.
The most amazing part was having Ceecee there as my cheerleader this time. I’ve never had her there watching me compete before. She was always either also in the race or just not there before today.
Today, though, she was taking pictures, giving me encouragement, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to have her support and to feel that she was proud of me.
