Today Rushelle, Emily and I did the Turkey Tri in St. George. Before you think we are the most amazing girls ever,
I must tell you it was a really itty bitty Tri. They call it the beginners. It's a 200 meter swim(8 laps), 5 mile bike ride, and a 1.5 mile run. It basically gets you used to how these things work. Hopefully we can do the Sprint Triathlon in Lake Las Vegas this May. After A LOT (3 weeks) of training we finally completed it. I have to tell you it was a pretty awesome experience and i really really enjoyed it. I was a nervous wreck and honestly thought i might drown in the swimming part, but thankfully I survived to tell you all. I am actually really proud of my times. This was my very first race ever and we didn't train properly at all. So here are my times.

This was my very first race ever and we didn't train properly at all. So here are my times.
SWIM: 4min 56 sec (i finished 23 out of 72 people, male and female)
BIKE: 24min 54 sec
RUN: 16 min 23 sec ( not the best)
TOTAL TIME: 48 min 41 sec
I finished 30th out of 72 males and females, and 12th out of 37 females.
I thought i could ride a mountain bike with no problem but man those things are heavy and sooooooo hard to race in. So hopefully next time i can get a nicer bike, anyone want to loan me one??
Before the race, so happy and ready to go!!
Finishing the race with a guy behind me yelling "Come on you can do it!" I must have looked bad!Before the race, so happy and ready to go!!

Congrats! You did fabulous! I can't believe you did that with only 3 weeks of training! I've never done a Tri, and I'm not sure I want to! Very impressive!
Way to go Alisa! That is so awesome. And honestly, I don't know if I could ever do a tri because swimming is FREAKIN HARD! lol. Seriously. I'm impressed!

Alisa that is so awesome! I'm so excited for you. Honestly your placement is pretty good for your first time!
I am so impressed! That is awesome. I keep telling myself that I'm going to run a 5K soon, but I'm a wimp. I know, I know... it's not a marathon or anything, but hey... even ONE mile is far to me!
:)
Good job! That's so cool.

I'm impressed! I couldn't have swam that fast, and I don't even know if I can still ride a bike!

Dude, you are so awesome! I don't care if you say it's itty bitty, that's more than most people have ever done! I'm seriously impressed.
Did you know you are the coolest?
You are.
And you could totally beat me up. You are awesome! I want to do one now!
That is so awesome. I'm so proud of you! I think I'm too lazy to do stuff like that.
Alisa, you're my hero! Great job!
WOW! Great job! You looked great! Congrats hon. :)
No wonder you thought you were gonna drown- look at how fast your swim time was!
Oh man, too bad I don't live there or I would totally go with y'all. Yeah right! :) I am in no shape whatsoever to do what you did. Great job!!! Super impressive!
Oh and I must confess, my backyard isn't as big as you thought, that was my neighbor's yard and my yard in the picture. It's actually half that size. We just don't have a fence up yet. :)
You are so hardcore! I couldn't even do and itty bitty one. I seriously think you are SO awesome!!!
That's great. It seems like everyone is getting into running. I can't figure it out! Just kidding. Good job!
SO IMPRESSED...all i can say is AMAZING! I'm so proud of you guys!!!
