I also wanted to share one of my bestest-evah Round 1 milestones with you while I was here....because I can, and it was very, very exciting! On 27th January I took part in my very first triathlon, the Frampton's Women's Triathlon held in Alice Springs, by the Alice Springs Triathlon Club. It was only a small triathlon, 100 metres swim, 5 kilometres bike ride and 1 kilometre run, but last October (when I was 22.5 kgs heavier) I would have had trouble doing any one of those legs by itself, let alone all three in quick succession.
I was so excited and nervous on the day, but I finished, and I was pretty darn pleased with my time as well: 24 mins and 17 seconds. The swim (which consisted of five laps across the pool) was my least favourite leg, but I made it (just ;-).
...and close to passing out too (well that's what I felt like doing).
I can't wait for my next mini-triathlon. There is another one in March, where you only have to do one of the legs, in a team of three. That will seem like a walk in the park after this one!

Look at you! So so so proud of you. You look fabulous. Now if only I can lose a bit of excess and get as fit and healthy as you are. I'm going to try, and with your support and encouragement I'm off to a great start! x
Thanks so much Patrice. Your comment is really appreciated!
You can do it girly. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you, and blowing it out of the water too.
:-)
Sam.
