so i haven't done a tri in over 2 years, but my girlfriend's roomate saw an ad for the ohio state university triathlon club's indoor tri. she'd never done a tri and i've been wanting to do one since last summer, so we signed up.
because it's febraury and ohio, we can't bike outside. so the bike was done on stationary bikes. which meant that instead of setting a distance for each event and timing how long it takes, we were given times for each event and measured the distance we covered. the swim was in a 50-meter pool and the run was on a 1/8-mile track.
10-minute swim
10-mintue T1
20-minute bike
5-minute T2
15-minute run
the results haven't been posted yet, but i think i did ~500 swim, ~5 1/2 bike, and ~1 1/2 run. i wanted to do much better in the swim, but i've never swam in a 50-meter pool before. i started getting naseous halfway through the bike because i didn't drink enough last night, and i spent basically the entire run cramping up and seeing double.
i think i might join the osu tri club in the spring, because i really want to get back into the swing of things. even if i didn't do as well as i wanted to, it was still a lot of fun and it reminded me of why i started doing it in the first place.
oh, and the school newspaper interviewed me and took my picture a few times. i'm going to be famous!
