I once again signed up for the St. Peter’s Rec-Plex Fall Triathlon. The results were not all that pretty, 299/413 overall. I had more bike problems, as my brand-new front derailleur came off its shims the first time I shifted. This resulted in the derailleur grinding against the cassette. This worsened to the point I had to spend 10 minutes on the side of the road trying to fix it. Eventually I just had to bend it so it would no longer interfere. My frustration with the race was offset by a visit from Carter and Mommy who congratulated me on finishing. I definitely still have the triathlon bug, but I hope I am done with the equipment problems. Post-race pictures are here.
