Saturday, July 12th I, with many of my swim alumni did this triathlon together. I felt really good about this event especially since we had a good number of supporters.This was my first ever triathlon 2 years ago, so it was nice to do this race and see if I was able to improve. The swim portion was difficult because majority of it was so shallow that it was easier to walk than swim. The bike was an entire different feel mainly because 2 years ago I rode my mountain bike and this year I bought a new road bike which enabled me to drop 10 minutes.
For the final portion, the run, I have to thank Carolyn (our assistant coach) for running with me twice a week for over a month. That really prepared me for this portion.
Overall, I took off 18 minutes from 2 years ago and it felt great! So great that I am planning on entering another triathlon on the 21st of September in Canadaguia. It is called the Finger Lakes Triathlon.
This triathlon is while you are all on campus, plus it is the day before the 1st day of practice so it would be great if you wanted to participate or cheer on the sidelines...
Give it some thought and email me if you are interested or would like more information.
