Had a terrific weekend finishing my first FULL Ironman Triathlon! 140.6 miles was never more fun - so great to be surrounded by friends like @celloyee , Roland, Ron, and my little sister @lizch3li
Ever since 2013, when @celloyee and I were dreaming about racing an @ironmantri , I knew I wanted to participate one day. 2019 was when I started competing in short distance races, and I’m super happy the consistent, quality work paid off this past Saturday despite my busy schedule!
Thank you to all the volunteers and Ironman support team on the race, and especially to @minahongvln ❤️ for cheering me on from afar the whole time!
