My First Triathlon

Today was supposed to be my first triathlon.  I've been wanting to do one for a few years now.  I was going to do one two years ago, but never got around to it for some reason and then last year I was pregnant, so this was going to be the summer.  I chose the Millenium Triathlon because it is the shortest one around (500 yard swim, 15 mile bike, 5k run).

I got up this morning at 5, left the house at 6 and got to Millenium Park at 6:30.  I unloaded my bike in the dark, pouring rain, set it up in transition, got my body marked and then parked the car.  When I made it back to the transition area I heard that the race was postponed for an hour because it was thundering and lightening.  I quick called Jared because he was going to come with the kids soon, but they were already in the car, so they decided to come anyway.
