not just finishing anymore

i just finished my registration for hermosa beach's annual day at the beach sprint triathlon.  what a difference a year makes. 

last year i borrowed a tri suit, a wetsuit, a helmet, rode in on a hybird.  i'd never rode over 15 miles or swam more than 20 minutes in the ocean.  i rode with sneakers.  i had a cheering section that has since all moved away and my home is no longer in hermosa.

i crossed the finish line 10th in my AG. and i fell in love with tri's.

this year i own a wetsuit, so many tri suits challenge is deciding on the zoot or tyr, i have my new giant complete with speedplays.  i just finished a great ride on saturday with what just might be my new support system. i've done so many open water swims i lost count.  and i've got an ironman on my calendar. 

you've come a long way baby.
