Last Saturday I competed in my second triathlon. It was a blast and I beat my overall time from last year by 5 minutes!! Yeah! The big shocker of the race was my swim time ... I swam my 500 in 6 minutes 52 seconds. I came in 7th out of all 520 men and women in the swim... I'm still thinking it was a computer chip glitch :) My transitions were faster this year and my run time was 2 minutes faster! My bike was the only time that didn't improve... but I know for a fact that it was because it was pouring down ran and I was taking it pretty easy in fear that I might wipe out on one of the slick turns. I am so happy I did this race again... but hope that I have someone to train with next summer (um hum... Schlaura).
Here are some shots Lee took during the race:
The beginning of the race... getting ready for the swim. I'm somewhere in there with a blue cap.
Out of the water transitioning to bike.
On the bike. The course is really hilly and curvy. I saw lots of deer.
Finishing my run.
Happy to be done.
My biggest supporter... Lee!
My cheering section... Mom, Adam, and Natalia. My dad was there too. He is taking the picture. Thanks for coming down you guys!
