I did it!!

I completed my first triathlon on friday!!! It was a 500 meter swim followed by a 12 mile bike ride, and finished with a 3.3 mile run!!! I did it with four other women from church and it was sooo much fun!!! Honestly I never thought an event like this could be fun but it was! I finished the race in 1hr 59 mins! I forgot to take a camera but my good friend Wendie took some pics and I am gonna ask her to email them to me so that I can post some! I am so proud of myself and this accomplishment! After the tri was finished I was riding my bike back to pick up my car and the front brake on my bike stuck and I went flying over the handle bars! I was hurt and thought I had re-broken my right arm. My knee was bleeding pretty bad and I have a pretty large raspberry on my left elbow. I went to the Dr who took x-rays and said that nothing was broken but that I did sprain my elbow quite bad. I am wearing a brace and am quite incapacitated for a while. I really just feel like a dork. I mean really grown people are not supposed to have such silly accidents. I'll post pics of my wounds later as well...
