My first (sprint) triathalon today! Think good thoughts for me--I don't care about time just want to finish standing and smiling!

What a mental game this all is. Feels so strange to be intentionally ingesting so many carbs and calories--all in the name of fuel, but still mentally stuck on the idea of overeating. Even weirder to be "eating" 100 calorie packs of basically sugar that taste disgusting! Been trying out small amounts of the goo to see what works and agrees with me all week so that was strange too "wasting" all those calories!

Anyhow--wish me luck! I think I got this!

Good luck! Hope you had fun competing! Be sure to update so we know how you did...

How did it go? I hope you had your best showing out there. I know I loved my first tri.

I'm sure you did awesome! Congrats on finishing!

Thank you!!!

I am so thrilled! Finished smiling an running and even beat my sister on the swim (tho she kicked my butt on the bike/run). Would have been happy under 3hrs but did it in under 2 1/2 (2:28 and change!)

Just constantly greatful and amazed at what I am now capable of! Quite a journey.

YEAH!!!!!

Whoo hooo!!! Love it love it love it and there is NOTHING like hearing stories like this.

Congrats Jess! Great job
