I'm a triathlete!
Today I posted a mediocre 5k time - my worst in a year, but I'm still really excited about it. Why? Because I preceded it by a half mile swim (in 55 degree water! Ouch!) and an 11.8 mile bike ride.
That's right. I took my ultra-gay uniform out, and completed my first triathlon today! I'm now officially a triathlete!
It was SO much more fun than a regular foot race - well, maybe as much fun as a marathon, but also less difficult.
P.S. I learned something today - when you put your face into really cold water, your lungs contract, and you stop being able to breathe. So I couldn't actually swim the swim portion.
