Beccs and I on the way down. Treats and all...you know it!! This is my mom's bike I took down. Good times. Rosie was laughing at my excellent bike. She has some pro bike. Whatever, it's cool!
It was absolutely gorgeous before the race at 6:00 AM.
Rosie and I before the race. I rode down with Beccs then met up with Rosie to do the race. She was the biggest help to me showing me the ropes, fixing my bike, etc etc.
Get ready!
Everyone wrote their numbers on their arms and ages on the calves. It was fun to see everyone's ages as they passed you or you passed them! I loved it when someone 77 years old passed me. Good times!
Yeaaa Rose! Lookin hot
Go 35!! Ok, so now I better tell THIS race's catastrophe for me. So I rented a wetsuit online when I registered for the race. When I went to pick it up that morning they informed me that they sent an email out saying they wouldn't have them anymore (we all know how great I am at checking the email....currently 2438 unopened in inbox!) ha ha. Anyways so I had NO WET SUIT. I didn't think it was a big deal but apparently everyone else did. People looked at me like I was some kind of celebrity or something saying "wow, that's legit. No wet suit?" Rosie asked if I was still going to do it. I was like "Of course!" Apparently people use them not only for warmth but for buoyancy as well.
I do have to thank Hawaii for it's big waves and me swimming in them daily when I lived there. The swimming in the tri was actually my favorite part! No salt water and no huge waves. Most people don't really like the swimming. The bike was my toughest part. Gotta get to spin class and as Rosie said "Um yea, you'd do alot better on a better bike!" :) Ok ok.
The running was fun. You are tired but metally it was ok cause in my head I kept thinking "da, I can do this...i just ran 13 miles a few weeks ago!"
The MonaVie crew. Go team!!!
by the way the tri is:
SWIM: 1/2 MILE
BIKE : 13 MILES
RUN: 3.2MILES
JUST A SPRINT BUT WELL WORTH IT!!

Congrats on doing your first TRI! I am very jealous! I love all the physical stuff you are always doing! And you other Vegas pics are so cute! And I am very jealous of your laying out time at the pool!
Way to go Heidi- I am so impressed and proud of you!
Nice job Heidi! Tri's are awesome!! You should do the Jordanelle one this summer. I did it two years ago and plan on it again this year. And yeah, I was the same as you, riding a sweet mountain bike! (yours may not have been but it looked like it)
Ok Heids, I seriously need your advice!!! I am doing the same sprint triathalon and I want you to tell me what you felt like you wish you would have known. The swim for me luckily is only in a pool but I am nervous for the bike and run. Tell me everything, you always help me by going first ex: the mission!! Love you mona vie model and thanks for the Guess shout out!!
