I recently complete my first Triathlon. I learned a lot from training, racing and having the guts to do something I have never done!

But here are some of the key lessons that I think will apply in anything that you do in life whether you are in a race or not. Go out there and give something a go! You never know what you will learn!

Here are some BONUS Lessons:

• Look up once in a while to see where you are going in life because you may be OFF COURSE! (I started to swim away from everyone for part of the race… losing valuable TIME!)
• REMOVE RESISTANCE – Having the right equipment makes all the difference!  I only had a hybrid bike and was getting passed  by other TRIATHLETES on ROAD BIKES!  I will definitely need a better bike for the next race!
• In the video, Lesson #6 was to find someone stronger!  Well, during the running leg of the race, I was pretty much spent… until I found someone that was just ahead of me, who was running at a good pace.  So I started to follow him, one step at a time for the last km.  What a blessing!  He kept me going right till the end, helped pace me and help me finish the race.  He was like a MENTOR in life, someone to help guide you and show you the way.  (In the last 150m, I knew I could overtake him, but rather than running past him, I encouraged him as I ran past him to follow me… and in that last 150 m, I become his PACER, and help him to finish STRONG.  I did not want to beat him, I wanted BOTH of us to finish strong, and I wanted to return the favour for what he did for that last km of the race.  And in the end, we both finished giving it our VERY BEST!)
