Well I finally experienced a tri for myself.
It was only a 250m swim and 6 mile bike and 1.5 mile run,
it wasn't even a sprint tri, it was "super" sprint but that's
fine considering i'm not even out of High school. Overall I placed
4th and 1st in my age group (the three people in front of me would've
gotten the age group but they all got overall awards) I completed
it in a little under 45 minutes. i "won" the swim but stalled in transition
and got passed by three people :mad: Still i came into the run tied for
third and finished about a 200 behind the guy. The hills on the bike leg were
pretty intense about half the people i talked to ran their bikes up a killer hill.
overall the race, held at a rec park was great. the host was funny and cool
and I even got a trophy. Their was a sprint race (500 swim, 13 bike, and 5k)
in which a couple of family friends competed in. I had a great time which makes
me want to go do this again :rolleyes:
