First Triathlon
Monday, August 10th, 2009 | News
Yesterday Brian and I competed in our first ever triathlon! Thanks to everyone who has made this dream possible so far. Because of a crazy set of events that happened to the good company that is designing and building our biking chariot, we had to race without it yesterday. Also, because of the lane lines in the pool, we were not able to swim together. (It is not very easy to pull 165 lbs of boat and Brian over or under 13 lane lines!). Instead, we did the run together and Brian cheered me on as I competed in the other two events.
We finished with an overall time of 1:04:55. We were only 15 minutes behind the fastest athlete in this race. That made me feel good. We had a good hard run, a super fast, super fun bike, and I survived the swim. It was a good day. Brian can’t wait for more! This Saturday we will compete in the Rexburg Rush Triathlon in Idaho where we will at least get to run and swim together. It’s going to be fun!
