I finished my first triathlon! I am so happy and proud of myself.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Finishing a triathlon was one of the first goals I set for myself when I moved to the US 10 years ago. The fastest triathlon I completed was 4 hours and 15 minutes. I was under the assumption that setting a US triathlon goal would be a great thing to do in Florida with the \u201cperfect\u201d weather. What I didn\u2019t realize was how hot the weather is in Florida and how difficult it is to run on the road. I took the time to acclimate and put off my training until now.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303042203\"><span class=\"aQJ\">10 years later<\/span><\/span>, I finally reached my goal!!!<\/p>\n<p>I finished in<span class=\"m_1462522303583133642gmail-apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"m_1462522303583133642gmail-aqj\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303042204\"><span class=\"aQJ\">3:06:30<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"m_1462522303583133642gmail-apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>and first of my category!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_1462522303583133642gmail-aqj\">One of the most important things to consider weeks before your first triathlon is to know what to prepare. It can be a difficult task because there are three sports involved in the race: swimming, biking, and running. You need to have the right equipment for all of them. I have created a list of things I would suggest you pack for a triathlon. Let me know if this proves to be helpful to any of you. Please find it attached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_1462522303583133642gmail-aqj\">As always, thanks for reading Severine\u2019s Corner. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3957\" src=\"http:\/\/www.severine-photography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/04-3955-post\/triathlon-list2-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"triathlon list\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.severine-photography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/04-3955-post\/triathlon-list2-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.severine-photography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/04-3955-post\/triathlon-list2-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.severine-photography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/04-3955-post\/triathlon-list2-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.severine-photography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/04-3955-post\/triathlon-list2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I did it!
