One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I got into triathlons and this past September I did the half-iron man (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and 13.1 mile run) The experience was grueling, but I swam next to a sea lion, biked along the beautiful California coast and finished the race with a feeling of being able to accomplish anything I put my mind to!
