So I just got back from my first triathlon of the year. I've only done one before, last September, and was pleased to just finish then, but this time I actually set a time goal for myself: three hours. That would be 13 minutes faster than my last race, though the swim this time was longer, so I was actually hoping to shave about 25 minutes off my previous time. Well, I don't think I quite made it; I didn't hear my time when I crossed the finish line, but my friends thought they said 3:04 or so. Not bad. But the surprising thing, and the thing that makes me not care SO much about the time (besides the fact that it was just stupid hot today), is that they said I was second place in my division! Granted, there may have only been two or three women in my age group, but I still got a medal!
Anyway, I'll post more later about the crazy events of the day, and once I know my overall time and splits and rankings and things, but for now I'm going to take a nice long nap in my room at the inn (since my AC still doesn't work) so that I can be ready for our two soccer games tonight!
About Me
- Jenn
- It's hard to summarize who I am in a few short words. My instinct is to tell you what I do, but I'm learning that that's not the same thing. Who am I? I'm a child of God, by his grace, thanks to the sacrifice of his son Jesus. I haven't earned his love and I don't deserve his grace, and yet I am his beloved. I too often get caught up in trying to do things for God and forget to just be his, but I'm working on that...

Congrats! That's awesome. All your hard work paid off I guess. Just be careful not to run yourself too thin. Don't want you to get sick or hurt yourself. A nap sounds like a very good thing to do. Sweet dreams.
Great job.
