This was a great way to start Mother's Day weekend! I love these events; especially the all women ones. They help me feel strong and healthy, Love that adrenal rush for hours afterwards.

SheROX
This morning I participated in the all women SheROX triathlon as a relay team with a friend. It's a great event at Tempe Town Lake! This is the real deal as compared to Tri for the Cure......big league with pro athletes. My friend swam the 750M, I rode the 13.5 miles on my bike then ran a 5k. The clouds hung out until we were done.....thank goodness. It was over 100 today.

This is the most inspiring & physically fit 50+ year old woman you'll ever meet. I bought her old road bike....you can see it on the rack next to us. She's so kind hearted........and did I mention....a competitive triathlete. She often wins her age group. 

This was a great way to start Mother's Day weekend! I love these events; especially the all women ones. They help me feel strong and healthy, Love that adrenal rush for hours afterwards.
My friend in the middle conquered her first open water tri. She did great! She's my hero. I have lots of fears about an open water swim versus a pool swim. I need to spend some time in the pool getting comfortable in the water again. Then I can work on beating the open water demons....total mental game! Gives me another goal!
