Two posts in under a month! Getting back into it!

So, finished the 1st of 3 triathlons this morning. Next 2 are tomorrow.

Today was the SuperSprint Tri of the Chi Tri; 350meter swim, 10k bike, 2.5k run. It was an open water beach start, so you run from the holding area into the water, then swim around some buoys, then come back, and run back up the beach to the bikes. From there you walk/run your bike out of the transition area, mount up, ride, then come back and do the run.

I completed the whole deal in 0:55:36, or 55 minutes and 36 seconds. Pretty good! My times were:

Swim 15:04
Bike 23:27
Run 17:05

That was good enough for 287 out of 590. Just outside the top half. Better than I have finished before. I was ranked

Swim 291/590
Bike 238/590
Run 377/590

You can easily see where my weak spot is!!... running!! lol....

I am doing the Triple Challenge, where I do that race today, and tomorrow I do two races. A Sprint Tri and an Olympic Tri.

So tomorrow at 0600, I start off on the Sprint Tri. That is a 750meter swim, a 22k bike, and a 5k run. Then, I shake it all off, turn everything around, and at 0900 I am back in the water to do an Olympic Distance Triathlon; 1500meter swim, 40K bike, and 10K run.

Total distances for all races is-- 2.6K (1.6 miles) swim, 72K (44.7 miles) bike, and 17.5K (10.9 miles) running.

I should have the Sprint done in about 2 hours, and we will see if I have any steam left for the LONG one... lol... figures...

If you want to track me, there is a racer tracker app for iPhone and Android, under TimeLifeTri; you can enter my bib # or my name to see how I do, and follow my transitions in real time. My bib for the Sprint is #228, my bib for the Olympic is #6229.

Cheer me on from near, or cheer me on from afar....
