finisher

I am THE first King/Pollard family triathlon participator. Amazing. It feels great and now my dad wants to help me train and do one. I now want to do another one next year. I may be also in one in June in St. Augustine. I also am going to do a Iron Kid in Orlando. I can't wait till I can do a Iron Man. Although, I am already kind of scared. In the Tri. I did yesterday, I crossed the finish line at one hour and 16 minutes. That was when my group started. When I actually got into the pool, that was my real time. The time was, are you ready for this? 39 MINUTES! seriously. When I ran, everyone was chanting my name when I ran past. They were shouting, "How does she run that fast", and simply jaw dropping, "WOW!" Signs waving, and crowd cheering, I ran past the finish line. I remember my parents hugging me and friends giving me high fives, also, running past and by the track, cheering for my other friends. At school, people congratulating me. I now LOVE and adore triathlons. Thanks for cheering me on!
