My First Tri

Distance: 400m swim, 20km bike, 5km run
Time: 1:27:00

So its been awhile since i last wrote! After the Vancouver half, i took about a month and a half off to let my knee recover, which thankfully it has, and has shown no signs of coming back now that i'm running again. Last weekend my mom, cousin and I did My First Triathlon at Harrison Mills - it was awesome!!! The swim was a litttle hectic - people everywhere and i got mildly hit a couple of times. The water was freezing, but since the swim was only 400m it didn't even really seem like it was part of the race - more like a quick dip to get you energized. The bike was good, and the run was fine once I got used to the feeling of running on leaden legs! I enjoyed the whole thing so much that i've signed up for the Vancouver Tri on september 3rd - im not quite sure what im thinking since i'm going on a week long bike trip right before. Oh well!!

The picture is of me showing off my race number after the tri!
