Tri for the Cure

This past Sunday, I participated in the 4th Annual Tri for the Cure, an all female sprint triathlong benefitting Susan G. Komen.  What an unbelievable experience.  I competed in the Denver Tri for the Cure in 2007 and I couldn't wait to participate again.  After completing 8 laps of swimming, biking over 8 miles and running 2.5 miles I completed my 2nd triathlon in 1 hour and 2 minutes.  I was amazed about the amount of women who took on such a physically challenging event to benefit breast cancer research.  There were women of all ages and physical abilities competing.  Despite my somewhat competive nature, I found myself being a cheerleader to almost every women I came across.  What an empowering experience.  I can't wait for next year's Tri for the Cure!!!
