Sound's fun, I'll sign up too. Should help motivate me to get some exercise this spring.
Sometime in April: I really should get some running in. Haven't done much biking either. Wonder when the last time I swam was?
Sometime in May: Ooh boy, this might be interesting.
And so it is not without a certain amount of trepidation that Don and I stand at the door of our "support tent" on an otherwise beautiful morning on the last day of May, waiting for the start of the 2014 TriShark.
I did okay, considering the amount of training I didn't do. Survived the swim - my primary concern - actually getting out of the water ahead of a few guys in my age group. I'm in the green cap, right behind the guy in the pink cap coming up the ramp in the picture below.
The only time the spectators see the race at this event is during the start, finish, and transitions, so Andrea couldn't get too many action shots (or inaction shots, in my case).
The 20K bike leg is flat and fast, and I felt pretty good but the ol' legs were definitely starting to burn as I pulled into the last transition.
Heading out for the 5K shuffle. Happy because I've got a great cheering section. And because this is the last stage. Wow.
Don ended up a few minutes ahead of me. I finished only a couple of minutes slower than the last time I ran this race so I was pretty happy about that. It was a good day.
So, I heard about this one race later in the summer...
