Triathlon in Boiling Springs

I participated in a sprint triathlon in Boiling Springs.  It was a 900 m swim, 16 mile bike, and 3 mile run.  This was my first triathlon.  I have always wanted to do one.  I said between each child I needed to do one...well it took me until my third to do it, but I did!  It hurt really bad (especially during the run) but I did pretty well.  My goal was to get under 1 hour and 50 minutes...which I had no idea how I could do it.  But I did, and I got third in my age group!
