Triathlon Roundup

I thought about quitting the triathlon about 200m into the swim but decided that would be too embarrassing after having mentioned it on Facebook and this blog (ah, the power of social media). So I bobbed along through the swim and then thoroughly enjoyed the bike and run, despite a fair amount of rain. I ended up 337th out of 602 participants, which isn't so horrible considering that I was 543rd after the swim. Kate was amazing as always, finishing 4th out of 40 women in her age group and in the top 20 overall women out of over 200. She also beat me by about 14 minutes!! I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who competed in the triathlon and then was dumb enough to show up to his oldtimers' soccer game that night. Fortunately the game was canceled, saving my tired old legs from further punishment. For next year, I may even try learning how to swim and training a bit!
