Today was the first part of the spring sprint triathlon. This race is wierd in that you do the swim on friday in the pool and then the bike/run on Saturday. I did the 750 yard swim in 12:52, which I was very happy with. Now if I can only avoid crashing my bike tomorrow I should be good.
Ian was going to do the kids version of the spring sprint, but it turned out to be the same day as the Beat Coach Pete race, which is the funnest 5K of the year. You race against coach Pete and finish in Bronco stadium. If you beat coach Pete (who runs it in about 26-27 minutes) you get a T-shirt that says "I Beat Pete." If Pete beats you, you get a T-shirt that says "I'll Beat Pete Next Year." Ian is very excited, and a bit delusioned as to his abilities. We've tried to explaint to him that he shouldn't be dissapointed if he can't beat Pete, but my guess is he ends up crying tomorrow.
Stayed tuned for the results . . .
I don't know if Ian can beat Pete or not but I know that he can run faster than me.
