SWIM, BIKE, RUN.....

Hello Everyone: Those of you who have known me for a while know that I'm a Triathlete, I've been a swimmer since age 15 but I became a Triathlete back in 2003. I had a great time doing this races, from Sprint Triathlons (400-800yd. swim, 24 mile bike ride and 3-4 mile run), to Iron Man Triathlons, (2.4 mile swim in open water, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run), I've done 3 of this grueling races, with my sweet family, grandkids, daughters, my dear hubby, in laws, friends, cheering me on. Those are the best memories of my humble athletic career.  I'm a late bloomer, I did my first race at the ripe age of 52 and finished my last Iron Man Triathlon at the super ripe age of 60!!!  I'm still at it, with a few bumps along the way, and I will keep at it until.....heck!! I don't know!!!
When I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, for some reason, this 3 image that represent the 3 sports of Triathlon, came to my mind. Perhaps it's because this sport has, and still is, such a big part of who I am, and also, because there is hardly any day that I'm not doing at least one of this disciplines, either at the Y or at home. So, here is my card.

I don't own any Triathlon stamps, I don't think there are any out there so, I Google this images and just hand drew them, in pencil first and then, finished them with the black Prismacolor pencil and a paper stump dipped in baby oil. 

The sentiment says it all for me!!!

So there you have it, a simple card celebrating the amazing sport of Triathlon, which I so love.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card.

Thank you for visiting, have a great Halloween weekend.

Hugs from Maria.
