first tri -- April 26


Ok -- well, the swim was awful. Had a panic attack in the water and stripped off my wetsuit at the first turn (gave to a guy in a canoe). 600 yards in lake. Not a bad swim in the pool - pretty easy. But in a lake with a bunch of people swimming at the same time it was like being in a washing machine. No fun. Bad time. Next experience will hopefully be better.


Here I go out for my bike ride -- just glad to be out of the water.




And, now at the end of my bike ride. Bike leg was 11.3 miles. Smiling now b/c bike leg is over. :) Bike leg was actually much better than I thought it would be. Didn't really "push push" because not familiar with course and didn't know what to expect.

Run was not bad at all. 3.1 miles (5K). This is at end - when everyone is screaming and cheering you on. All in all it was a good experience.
