Message: Okay I got to tell you all. It was fun. A LOT of fun. We had a sprint tri (300 yd pool swim, 10 mile bike and 5k run). Swam and biked well and hung on for the run. It took about a half mile to get the biking muscles over to the running phase but by the time the 5 k was up the endorphins had kicked in the I felt really rather good.
Split times came in at 4:30 for the swim, 30 min. for the bike and 33 for the run. I know that the run needs work.
Pedaled in my running shoes. That worked great for the transitions but all the mashing on the pedals gave me serious numb toes for the run.
I can't wait for the next event!
