Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well, I'm back from the triathlon! While we weren't the most stellar performers there, we had a good time, and met our personal goals. My brother swam the first leg (1/2 mile swim) (and went on to finish the rest of it himself too), I biked (18 miles), and my sister finished up with the running (4 miles). So it wasn't too strenuous... I finished the bike leg in just over an hour (1:05). I set my mark to shoot for at 1 hour, knowing I probably wouldn't get it, but trying, so I was pretty satisfied with what I got. I was a bit chagrined to be passed by a 10 year old girl about 1/3 of the way into the ride (although at the same time admiring how well she was doing!). I managed to pass her after a while, but then she passed me again. We went back and forth like that for a while, but I finally managed to pass her for good a couple miles from the finish. When I looked at the times though, hers was actually about a minute faster than mine! She'd finished the swim behind my brother (who did our swim leg) so she started the bike leg later than I did. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I'm hoping to do the whole thing myself next year, and get some real fundraising going then. I'll post a few photos in my album on the group site.
