Tri athlete!

Updated: Sep 12, 2021



- A Bunch of 430 am wake up - 50 min round trip morning commutes to swim before work - Friday evening bike rides - And long sat morning runs in cheap $30 shoes


All to get to this moment right here!!!!!!!!


3 months before the race, I could barely swim a lap 2 months before it, I got a concussion and had to pause my training 1.5 months ago I realized a lap in a pool is down and back and that i was much farther from my goal than I thought - yikes!


I may have showed up to the race with my shorts on backwards and definitely forgot my swim cap and unsurprisingly went the wrong way getting out of the water


But I FRIGGING did it! I finished goal # 10 of my #30in30 list and completed my first Triathlon today, and I'M SO PUMPED!! I may have only gotten off the ground only a couple inches when I crossed the finish line but my excitement level is through the roof right now!


I couldn't have done it without my boy Sam Woodrum who provided food and bike support and helped me believe I could do this. also super grateful my friend Jason who 5old me about this race!

And uber uber grateful for my fam Orlando Dobbin Sr. Patricia Dobbin and Christie Dobbin who drove down to support! (And made sure I stayed hydrated!)





1500 m (.93 mi) swim 24.8 mi Bike ride 6.2 mi run


I'm a tri athlete now yall! watch out! if you live within a 31.93 mile radius of me, I can get to you in about 3h and 51 mins... so maybe don't call if you need something in a hurry #30in30 #triathlete #sosore #grateful
