Completeing a Triatholon 9 weeks Pregnant

I have been training for 5 months for the Trek Triathlon. My first one! I was very excited and have been training really hard. Then I find out I'm pregnant.

I had some major surgery in September and my doctor told me to start trying for a family because it may take longer than usual. Well that was not the case, it only took two months to conceive. I had a miscarriage the previous month and then conceived the second month.

I am still going to do the triathlon on July 12, 2009. I am still training but at a lower intensity. So I won't get to do it for time, but I will have a great story to tell the baby when he or she comes.

I think the working out has helped with morning sickness tremendously!
