The body of a triathlete

I just spent a fantastic weekend celebrating my one year anniversary with my sweet husband.  Even better, his present to me was something that I have been seriously wanting - a triathlon one-piece suit.  Its hot green and black (like the Jamaican flag) and it fits me like a glove.  I CANNOT wait until August 21st and my next tri to be able to wear it.  It makes me feel like I am a serious athlete.  Which of course, I am!

Slipping it on (it is very tight - more like wiggling it on)... I had to stop then and there and just look at myself.  I have the body of a triathlete now and it is just awesome.  Combining  the three disciplines has allowed me to define my body the way I want.  I have strong shoulders of a swimmer.  I have strong legs from a biker.  I have an overall lean look from a runner.  While I am still in the process of leaning myself and garnering more strength, I cannot be happier with my body.  I look hott!

  1. Awesome, Emily! Post so pictures to motivate the rest of us. :) I thought about you this weekend as I cheered my husband on in his first official triathlon. It is such an awesome sport... if I can ever get past my knee and shoulder problems I hope to join the fun!
