Well, I did it! I am officially a "Woman of Steel," I completed my first triathlon. (conveniently named the Woman of Steel Triathlon). "Triathlon?" you say, "Kristy in a triathlon?" Yes, it is true . . . and no, hell did not freeze over. Last year I got this crazy idea that I should try to do a triathlon. I don't know why, it just struck my fancy. I wanted to get my body back in shape both physically and mentally and I knew exercise would do it. I was tired of dancing to DVDs in my living room and decided to try something I've never attempted before . . . to be athletic. I trained my heart out for weeks on end and then May 17th was the tri. It of course was a sprint triathlon, but it was a blast. My swim time was crap and I panicked in the water, but I got over it and my running time was a personal best. My family and Ben's family came out to cheer me on and it was awesome! I think I will do more triathlons this summer now that I know what to expect. I talked Ben into doing a 10k with me on the 24th of July before the big Pioneer Parade in Salt Lake. I'm really looking forward to it!
P.S. I know you are just dying for me to post pictures of my triathlon, but no, I think I'll NOT post those for all to see.

You are a crazy girl! I can't believe it, I might need pictures for proof, just kidding. Congrates, that's pretty impressive. I've decided I like blogging because it's so nice to see what's going on in everyone's life. I'll add you to my blog of friends.
Okay, this is one of my dreams, and I am not even kidding! I may need to call you to find out how to train. I am so lazy!
Cute freakin family and home.
