WOO HOO!
My time was 2 hours 9 minutes. Not bad for my first go!
We thought our body markings were cool - right calf: age, left calf and right bicep: race number
We decided to do this about 8 weeks ago. We trained and trained and trained some more. I got up in the wee still-dark hours a lot. I did things I didn't think I could do and went farther than I thought I could go.
It paid off.
The day before, I was ready. Excited. Nervous, but ready. Kinda sad no one was coming to watch.
Then, my parents sent flowers. It was so unexpected, I got a little misty-eyed.
Then, at about 9:30 the night before there was a knock on the door, and standing there was every one of my Chambers sisters. Yeah, I was a LOT misty-eyed. I'm having technical difficulties and can't get the pictures of my AMAZING cheering section to get to the computer, but, take my word for it, they were awesome. I can't believe how much they inspired me and made me want to finish with a smile. They stayed for lunch and then had to drive all the way (2.5 hours for some, 4.5 for others) back home. Kim, Trina, Meg, Laney, and Cristen: You gals do not know what that meant to me. "Thanks" doesn't cover it.
This. Was. Awesome. I will do it again.
Shelli, I think that is so awesome you did that! What an accomplishment. I think it would be so much fun to do something like that but don't think I ever could. You should be so proud of yourself. I think you deserve to go get a massage or some kind of day at the spa :) Good Job!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I was laughing so hard at your goats in a boat. I think you guys are missing Grenada a little too much :) Maybe trying to recreate it?? Haha!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!! I could never do that!! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteIts such a feeling of accomplishment that you can't explain to anyone when you finish somethig that huge! That is so awesome you did all that. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go. Daniel said you finished before everyone you trained with. It is great you had a cheering section.
ReplyDeleteI heard all about this and I"m so proud of you, YOu look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO!!! What an inspiration you are to me and many others. I would so love to try that. Was it a 1/2 triathalon or a full? I am so proud of you!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Shelli! We have a popular "Dinosaur Triathlon" in Urnal every June. You guys can always come down for that one;-) Great pictures. Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Shelli! I am so proud of you. I know that I would not have been able to do that. Way to go!
