Thanks, everyone!
Honestly, the fact that we've finally been able to do this and make what we wanted for so long a reality is a little surreal! But I never even imagined I could be an athlete, so that's been probably the biggest thing for me.
Of course, a lot of what we'd said was edited out for space, and one of those things was how much the support we received from family and friends had a role in our success - and of course, I count you all here at 3FC in that group! Thank YOU for being here and being a support and inspiration to me as I've made my way along this journey. I hope someone did read our story and use it to believe they could make this change as well, the idea of that makes me really happy.
Nikki - I'm glad your hubby is on board with you now. It does make a difference! And you can totally do a triathlon! Birmingham is not that far from Atlanta and they are holding Iron Girl again next year. A women-only event is a great introduction to the sport and has a really supportive vibe to it. Besides IG, there are others held in the Southeast as well: the Trekwomen series and the Danskin series. I say go for it! You never know what you're capable of until you try.
