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.

Map My Triathlon

Joined Velog

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

At the request of Isaac I joined Velog. I added my ride log to the right. Overall training is going well. I swam from the dam to the island on the big lake… over half a mile. It is kind of fun to actually get somewhere while swimming, I am so used to just doing laps (even if the distances I am doing now are dwarfed by what I used to be able to do).

Triathlon training

Friday, May 16th, 2008

I am training for the upcoming Lake Saint Louis Triathlon. It will be my first triathlon. I expect it to be fun, but worse case it is a good excuse to get in shape. Besides, how many people get to run in a triathlon that passes right by their house?
