Well, I loved doing my first one and Chris found this one relatively close to home so I thought I'd give it a "tri". LOL! This was a sprint Triathlon down in the Shawano area. It consisted of a 1/4 mile swim, a 16.6 mile bike and a 3.5 mile run. The event was fun, laid back and well organized. The bike route was redone due to some road construction and had a number of hills and was more challenging than the old course from what we were told. I felt great on the swim my timing was pretty good! The bike was was challenging as I said before, with numerous hills. I averaged just under 15 MPH. I got off the bike and felt pretty good going into the run. It was supposed to be a 3.5 mile run but I think it was closer to 4 miles. The last mile got me.....I started fading and having a hard time with my breathing. All in all I had fun, and it was a nice addition to my first tri I did the Sunday prior!
