The Pursuit Of Happiness: Week In Review

Saturday (313)
My first triathlon of the season has come and gone, and I am pretty happy it. I did the Philly Trirock. And I did it with Rachel, my race running buddy. I've never actually done a triathlon with a friend, and while we were only together during the start and finish line festival, it was great to have another person I knew racing with me. We waved and cheered each other on whenever we saw each other throughout the course, which was a real spirit lifter.

I ended up meeting just about all my goals: finishing the triathlon without having to stop, placing 5th in my age group, finishing in 1:39 (under 1:45). And I felt great doing it.

After we perused the finish line festival and celebrated our victories, we went back to our hotel to clean up a bit before hitting downtown Philly. And can we just say I love food and I love art, oh and I love food. We visited the Magic Gardens which was not quite what I had imagined but still super interesting. Then we went to Dizengoff for hummus and Hai St Kitchen for sushirritos. Oh my tummy was thanking me. And with full stomachs and high spirits we headed back home.
