The Naval Academy Stadium at 5 am....Ashley came as my strong supporter and photographer:) She kept my motivation level strong as she cheered me on at transitions...
after setting up transition spot at the academy we jumped on a bus down to the chesapeake bay for the swim prep and transition setup.....i got branded on my arms and legs...
the sunrise for the mens start was incredible....
Thanks for coming Ashley!!!!
Before the swim with a girl named Julia, her first olympic tri as well.....right before our wave took off....
and off we go....kicking in the face seems to be a usual occurence....
the swim was touch, not going to lie- i hadn't been in a pool in 5 weeks.....here i am in the middle, coming out, excited to get on my bike....
out of the wetsuit and onto my bike.....which was my favorite part of the race....and no flat tire!
the bike to run transition spot........
the start of my 6.2 mile run out of the stadium,
and the sweet finish.....
i think i am hooked....off to the start of a busy week now....

Congrats on your Tri! I just finished the LA tri today, Sprint distance. Great stuff.
Congratulations Nicole!! I'm so proud of you. Maybe we can do a tri together sometime. Also, know what's funny? My friend Chris Riekert won the LA Tri that your friend Matt just commented on, for what it's worth! Talk to you soon.
Oh yeah, Arnabio = Aaron Black, just thought I'd make that clear
