JLO's Blog: Thank you!

What a ride—and swim and run! It's been an amazing experience these last few weeks as we followed SELF's Most Inspiring Woman for 2008, Jennifer Lopez, train for and compete in her first triathlon for charity. With these last few shots and a great video from race day, we wrap up our blog, still on a post-race high.

After the race, Jennifer and Marc hit the VIP tent to celebrate. They hardly ever stopped smiling.

Jennifer on the podium. You could tell she was genuinely surprised to have gotten a medal. Afterward, we overheard other racers talking about the awesome accomplishment: "She did the whole thing? Wow." "Didn't she just have twins?" "She looks good!"

Jennifer not only reached her goal of finishing the triathlon, she won a medal and, together with SELF, raised $127,000 for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles!

Thank you again to everyone who donated. We hope you've been inspired to set and surpass your own goals. Let SELF help you! Go to our Reach your Goal program, or explore Self.com. It's packed with tips, tricks and advice to help you be the best you can be.
