Three ladies from 91.5 CochraneNow did something none of us had ever done before. 

We completed a triathlon and according to the organizer of Rise Up, Richelle Love we are now triathletes!

Rise Up was a ladies-only indoor triathlon that happened yesterday over at Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre. 

There were over 100 ladies participating in the event.

It was such a great experience and fun to see a wide-range of fitness abilities. 

There were a lot of beginners who aren't on the top of their workout game (like me) and there were also seasoned triathletes participating.

I hadn't done a proper front-crawl in about 20 years so it felt good to be in the pool and actually use the skills I was taught many years ago. 

We swam as many laps as we could for ten minutes.

The biking portion was done in the spin room and the energy in there was unreal as we pedaled for 20 minutes.

We then headed over to the indoor track and ran (or walked) for 15 minutes. 

We finished the event off with some gelato and coffee.

I talked to several of the women after the event who are new to the sport and the general consensus is that the triathlon bug has hit us and we want to give it a go again!
