The best birthday present ever

I decided to bike to group training, roughly a 5 mile bike. When I got there, we were told that we were going to do our very first half mile swim, that is, if we wanted to. You could do a quarter mile if you wanted to. I chose the half mile swim. And I did it. It was the first time I've ever done a half mile swim. And then I dried off talked to a few people and headed home... on my bike. 5 miles back home. No store bought present could ever beat the way I felt when I got home. I am totally going to kick that triathlon's butt!
