Triathlon Results

I participated in my second ever sprint triathlon this past weekend (4.1 mile run, 14 mile bike, 4 mile kayak). It was pouring rain and windy (15 mph winds with 20 mph gusts) the whole time! :eek:

I met my time goals for the running and kayak. I was off my cycling goal by over a minute (and off my fastest cycling time for that course by over 3 minutes). But given that it rained so hard that I could barely see the road and that I nearly got blown off my bike three times by the wind I went home happy (and soaked to the bone). :)

My big disappointment was that I didn't get to use my new bright red Serotta Fierte for the race. I didn't want to bring her out in the nasty weather and risk wiping out. My trusty purple Terry Classic served me well.

I came in 4th overall for women iron persons and 2nd in my division.

Hey! Good going! :D
