Impromptu Triathlon


A few Saturdays ago, Zach was participating in a sprint triathlon.  He went to check in on Friday evening and when he saw the course decided that I would love it and should participate.  Since I was going anyway (for support) I let myself be convinced.  We had a great time.  I didn't get any pics of Zach since he is waaay faster than me but he was nice enough to take some of me.  It was a short tri, 300 meter swim, 8 mile bike and 2 mile run.  Zach's goal was to finish in 45 minutes and mine was to finish in around 1 hour.  We both did great; Zach finished in 47 minutes and I finished in 1hour and 1 second which was the top 20!  For me that is awesome!

Here's Zach and I before the race.
Me on the bike!  My bike's name is Lightening because it's so fast.
Me at the end of the run.  I ran it in 9:15 per mile.  For me, that's super fast!
Both of us at the end.
It really was a great triathlon.  Anyone who really wants to do one but is a little nervous, it's perfect!  There's only 150 people and it's shorter than a normal sprint tri.  It's very chill and the location is great, right through a beautiful neighborhood.  I would highly recommend it!
