My Triathlon Pink results...

I'm still on a high after competing in my first triathlon on Saturday and still can't believe I actually did it!

Considering I didn't have a lot of preparation, I'm very happy with my overall time and splits. Definitely need to work on my running and have put together a new training program...in preparation for my next event!

Here are my results from Saturday...

Swim - 5:33 mins
Cycle - 17:57 mins
Run - 6:48 mins
TOTAL TIME: 30:18 mins

My swimming is definitely my strongest leg and I'm ecstatic to have placed 29th (out of 146) overall in the swim leg! I placed 58th overall, which is great for my first triathlon! It was an amazing experience and I look forward to my next event!

Triathlon Pink - Saturday 6th October 2012

Today I competed in my first ever triathlon! I loved every minute of it!

I created a video of my amazing day...I hope you enjoy it!

One more sleep...

One more sleep until I compete in my first ever triathlon!

I'm nervous and excited, especially because I've had less than 2 weeks of preparation for the event.

I had decided I wasn't going to take part in the triathlon, rather sign up for the Pink Fun Run instead...that was until some dear friends encouraged me to still enter and give it a go ;)

So, Triathlon Pink short course, here I come!

Some of us ladies in the SWSyd Crew are going to wear our team shirts, pink hats and tutus!

My girls wanted to dress up too...so here they are ready to cheer for mummy and the SWSyd Crew tomorrow!

Weigh-in-Wednesday: 3rd October 2012

Really stepped up the exercise this week in preparation for Triathlon Pink this weekend. I ran, swam and rode around the beautiful Vincentia and thoroughly enjoyed my time away with the family.

With no access to scales...I was a little apprehensive...

no scales = no sneak peaks

...and I really didn't know what to expect this morning. I knew I had stuck to my daily PP allowance and exercised every day...but you just never know how the scales will react!

Well, I'm one happy woman this morning!

SW: 80.7kg
CW: 70.6kg
WIR: -900g
TOTAL SHED: 10.1kg

I reached my 10kg milestone!

It feels great to be 10kg lighter!

Now onto the next milestone...

To be in the 60s...need to shed 700g...I hope to get there next week!

What a view!

This morning hubby and I went on a 6km bike ride. We're loving our time down the coast and the view this morning was amazing!

We're heading home this afternoon :(

I've had a great time away. While we've been here I've eaten really well and stuck to my daily PP allowance. I've gone for a swim, a run and a bike ride. Have gone for beautiful walks and accumulated more then 13,000 steps daily. I wore a costume on the beach and felt more confident in my own skin.

I've still got another 12kg to shed, but I'm concentrating on how far I've come...9.2kg down, fitness has improved immensely and I'm starting to run! I love my new lifestyle and I love the changes that have already occurred.

I have enjoyed our 'time-out' down the coast and it's given me even more determination to keep travelling on my journey and achieve my goals.
