Funny title. Kristin ran a Sprint Triathlon the weekend before last. I was very very proud of her. For those who do not know what a sprint triathlon is, this one was a 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride, 3.3 mile run. So we spent the weekend in the Louisville for the triathlon. She placed 3 in her age division and 14th out of all 58 women. This was awesome considering her this was her very first. Her complete time was 1 hour 17 mins. This include all three events plus transition time between these which is the time it takes to get dried off, shoes on, and on your bike. She did awesome for her first triathlon. I believe the next one she can really push it, now that she knows what to expect and be at the top.
So, funny story. You are probably wondering about the Trophy wife comment. Well last night Kristin was in the shower and I just happened to look out on the porch for some reason. There was a small box with our porch rug covering it. I asked her if she had ordered anything and she said no. I opened it and it had a trophy in it for Kristin from when we ran the Get Fit 5K for ISP Chemical and Baptist Family Fitness. She won second place in her age division. So we were joking back and for that she is my trophy wife.
I still can not believe it myself, that I not only finished a 5K run, but finished it running. In other words, I ran the entire 5K. I would not have been able to complete such a feat if it werent for my beautiful wife who pulled me the last mile and kept reminding me to take slow deep breaths. She is an inspiration. And man was it hot. I thought I was going to pass out before we were halfway thru the race.
After the race we walked for a bit then I sat down on a curb, that is when I felt like I could really get sick. Man I just couldnt cool off. In the end it was very much worth it. $15, 2 free t-shirts, and feeling of death.
