My First Triathlon!

Last Sunday (Aug 26th) I did my first triathlon!  I did the Danskin Super Sprint in Pleasant Prairie, WI.  It consisted of a 1/4 mile swim, a 6.6 mile bike and a 2 mile run. I had a good time except on the swim I got stuck behind a wall of people that were using noodles as flotation devices to help them and I couldn't get around them!  This added anywhere from 5 to almost 10 minutes onto my time which was frustrating to say the least.   I was a fun ace overall and look forward to many more!  Here's the video and some photos.....

Sidelined with injuries.....

Couple weeks ago I got into an accident and got banged up pretty bad.  Scrapes, bruises, strains, etc but thankfully no broken bones.  There's nothing worse than missing events and not being able to workout, it's driving me crazy!  I wasn't able to do the Minocqua Triathlon which I was shooting for the Olympic distance course but Ann and I did volunteer and helped out during the swim and bike portions of the race.  Felt good to contribute!  So I'm slowly getting back to normal and hope to start back slowly in a couple weeks doing a simply 5K run followed by a sprint triathlon on Sept 1st.  Time will tell......
