Madeira Beach Triathlon 2009

We all survived. These are some friends from work that I did it with.I started 16 minutes after the first heat. That is why you see the discrepency in time.The tri went pretty well. It was a 1/2 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. I finished in 1 hour 32 minutes. However I did get a 6 minute penalty. Evidently they were really serious about not wearing your ipod. They told me to take it off when I started my bike, so I had it around my neck. I guess because they could still see it...I was penalized. Jeesh!! I learned that lesson. I need to work on my bike portion, but I felt good about the run and the swim. Especially since the run was on the beach. We had to actually run in the sand. It was crazy! Overall it was a well organized race and I would do it again.

If you need to work on your bike portion maybe you should start a spin class! :)

Good Job I can't even remember the last time I ran, or biked, or swimmed for that matter
