I am a triathlete!

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

So I am officially a triathlete. I finished the Alligator Creek Triathlon. It was a lot of fun. I definetly needed Kathy’s & Carter’s full support, and they were happy to oblige. I am really happy with how I did overall. I am awaiting official results, but from what was posted I was 83/306, with a time of 1:38:05. I actually placed higher in the bike section than the run, which suprised me. I was not suprised that I did very well overall in the swim, but proud nonetheless. I need to find an equilateral triathlon :). You can enjoy the pictures. The official results for my age group are here, and overall results are here.

Moonlight Paddle

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

On Saturday night, underneath the full moon, the Kayak club organized a paddle around the small lake. What was really nice is that we got to use a 2 person kayak so Kathy could join and did not have to worry about straining herself. It was a very unique and fun experience that we are both glad we could share. Not to mention that Eric and Pearson made some great glow-in-the-dark T-shirts to commemorate the event. It was very memorable and a ton of fun. Obviously getting good pictures is difficult but here are a couple.
