Results

I finished my triathlon yesterday. I was surprised how tired it made me! It was really fun. I completed it in 1:22:37. My goal was 1:20:00. I think I would have met my goal except that after the bike as I was getting ready for the swim I removed my timing chip (unknowingly) and I went and got in the pool and swam about 30 yards before I realized it was gone. I had to get out of the pool, run back to my bike (which was nearly impossible), put it on and go get back in the pool. I think I lost almost 2 minutes doing that, but I won't know for sure until they release the breakdown of times.

I didn't stop once. I kept going the whole time. I didn't get off my bike, I rode all the way up the hill, twice. Overall I am pleased with my performance and I think that I would like to do one again. :)

Official Times:

5K Run 30:16

10 Mile Bike 36:25

350 Yard Swim 8:45

FYI: I lost 3 minutes on the last transition. Had I been thinking clearly, I would have placed in the top 10 for my age group. Oh well :)
