I did my first triathlon of the year yesterday. It was About 49 degrees for the race. I was worried about how cold it would be in the 58 degree water, but after a couple minutes it wasn't all that bad. My feet did completely freeze when I was on my bike. 50 degrees is too cold to bike with wet feet and no socks. They were completely numb until halfway through the run. I did the race in about 1:06 and got somewhere between 3rd and 6th place. Proof here.(3 people who beat me in the results didn't go through all the checkpoints. They may or may not have actually done the whole race.)
I was most proud of the fact that I had the 18th fastest swim out of 278 people. Much improved from last year. I might have done ever better if I was capable of swiming in a straight line. Sadly somebody beat me by one second on the run.
I don't have any photos because Marie was home with sick Jonah, but I do have this.
Now I have a photo
Good job Dallen! You are awesome. It is good to see you brad a little about yourself. You deserve it. You work really hard for your time. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that others are posting too. Good work on the triathlon. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to do one. I don't know how to swim.
ReplyDeleteGood job Dallen! You looked pretty spiffy in that new wet suit. I am like April in that I would drown in I had to do the swim.
