so this is a little overdue... the triathlon was august 24. anyways, here are a few wonderful photos.
before the race...
on the bike...
after we fininshed!!!
overall the race went great. this race only had about 500 participants so it was a lot smaller than the danskin (with 3000 participants). the swim didnt go that great, i finished near the back of the pack with only 3 people behind me in my age group, 1 of which had to be pulled from the water and DNF. but then i picked up the pace on the bike. i focused on passing everyone i could and was trailing this girl in my age group for quite sometime. then i passed her :) i guess you could say that i am competitive. then there was the run... the trail was really uneven so i was just waiting for an ankle to break. luckily, i survived. i ran the whole thing except for water breaks and that was my goal so yay! i ended up finishing 9/19 in my age group! so overall it was a success!!!
i really enjoyed doing the whole triathlon thing and i think i will keep the habit up. :)
