We spent last weekend in Door County as Natalie prepared and completed her first ever triathlon on her birthday. She was extremely nervous, but managed to finish the top 10% of all participants, and surprised all of us. In fact she was so fast we missed her coming out of the water and transitioning to her bike, I seriously was concerned she was having problems in the water because I never saw her and after about 30 minutes, we realized she was already on her bike, 15 minutes into her ride.
Friends, Tyra, Taylor and Alyssa surprised her on the morning of her triathlon, and provided excellent support throughout the morning. Natalie was over the top happy after the finish and also surprise her with her speedy results. I am certain that she will be participating in more triathlons in the future now that she has this under her belt.
Below is a short video I made of Natalie’s birthday triathlon.
