Triathlon

[cyveiliog]

The Triathlon was fun. It was grueling and a good test of whether or not you're really in shape or not. Swim 500m (which is more than you think it is, especially in the open waters of lake superior), Bike 15k over mostly paved back roads and downtown stretches, and Run 5k along the lake shore. Most people can run or bike. Not many can swim well.

Congratulations! That's inspirational... especially 500 m swim on Lake Superior in open water! Definitely something I want to try one of these days... but work has to slow down first... and I need to work on biking and swimming a little more I think.... but I do have a 5K lined up for the end of September anyway :)

They have a nice half marathon and 5k here in October if you want :)

I am going to a wedding in Rhinelander in October. Don't think we'd be traveling that way twice... [quick google search] Same weekend. Don't think I'd be able to swing both, since my husband is in the wedding party and I'm sure to be helping with whatever... but thanks for the offer... maybe next year?

(Last time I tried making plans to run a 5K with a friend in October (in the Keewenaw area) was about 5 years ago... and about a week after I started running to get in condition to do so, said friend broke their collarbone in a mountain biking incident. I would not wish a similar fate on you!)
