Have you ever competed in one of these events? I am sure you have, so please share your triple tri experience. Here's a little recap from mine the other day! The transitions were tough, but I pushed on through. And the event started pretty early...a little too early for my liking.
LEG ONE OF THE RACE - 5:45am start (and I am including my times for each event)
-Make coffee and drink one cup - 15:01
-Fix breakfast for the kids - 17:02
-Get kids dressed, check backpacks, pack lunch - 24:10 - this is where i lost some time - i was struggling
LEG TWO
-Get myself shower and dressed 7:34 - i whipped through this part
-Run kids to school - 5:30 - i actually had to walk this part - phew was i tired
-Volunteer at school, wrap and organize gifts for the giving tree - 59:10 - this took much longer than anticipated
TRANSITION: Mommy to Working Woman (transition was tough, i felt like i already finished the race, but it was only 9:15am and I had another entire leg to go- someone in the crowd handed me a paper cup of coffee - threw out a little "you can do it" and I was off to the next leg.
LEG THREE
-Work a full 9 hr day - 9:00 duh
-Run to car, drive as fast as possible to make my son's first piano recital - 10:20
-Make it to recital just in time - THANK YOU green lights - and shed some tears at my son's first ever anything on stage and in front of a large group of people 30:00
TRANSITION: Back to Mommy - my easiest transition
LEG FOUR - ok, it was more like a quadruple tri - and they didn't give me times for these ;)
-Bath
-Bedtime stories
-Bed
Yes, it was an all day race, but I made it! Tell me about your latest race?!
