Weekend of Perseverance

The theme of this weekend was perseverance...for both myself and for Rebecca. For myself, it was pushing through the rough swim and nasty hills at the Diamond in the Rough Triathlon on my way to a 10 minute PR at the Olympic distance. For Rebecca, it was facing her fear by completing her first open water swim in the Philadelphia Women's Triathlon. Despite concerns over the past month about the swim, Rebecca toughed it out and tore up the course, averaging a smoking 18.3 mph on the bike! Apparently, fear was not a factor this weekend!

More details to come!
