In the end

It finally happened, it is the end of a long preparation, and I couldn't feel happier with the outcome. I felt so tired that even when I received my medal, I felt like it should have diamonds or gold at least! But it's a simple steel medal, like the others I have collected, but with a very load of emotional value!!
Many thoughts went through my head during the race.
While swimming, I was thinking that I just love to swim, and that I feel happy that I can do it and enjoy it; mainly because most runners who start in the journey of a triathlon, find the swimming part a bit tiring and tedious, but it's not my case.
While riding, I was quite shocked because I was able to ride faster than my training average, without much extra effort, which means that I am ready to increase speed, and that fear will not take me anywhere. It is my weakest sport, and yet I enjoy it. I just have to get really good at it, it's the easiest part of the triathlon, and it is only a matter of training and losing fear. I already fell from the bike anyway.
Later on I had to run 4 laps of 2.5 kms each. The first one was the most difficult, and I couldn't believe that I had 3 laps to go!! I felt like I wouldn't have the energy to complete the race, but then I think my GU reached my blood, or I was thrilled to hear my friends' cheers and support, that somehow I found the energy to continue...
The last 2 laps were the easiest part of the entire triathlon, mainly because I was sure that I was almost by the finish line...
And when I was about to start my last lap, I thought "next time I am here, I will already be an olympic triathlete"; and it was true.
Yesterday at 2:04 pm, with an unforgettable and unforgivable sun, with 5 girls and my father by my side at the beginning, and waiting for me at the finish line, with many people cheering me from behind the walls, I became an olympic triathlete.
In the end, it was better than it was expected, would do it again next weekend...
