Hempfield Tri

So this past weekend I partook in my first ever sprint Triathalon. I never have been a strong swimmer, and most would probably still consider me a terrible swimmer. However I gave it my all and had some fun in the process. The format was a 300meter swim followed by a 16 mile bike, and finishing with a 3 mile run. The swim was time trial start and I was positioned as the 126th person to swim. So coming out of the pool I had a lot of catchup to play and I pulled it off incredibly well with nearly a 21 mph avg on the bike. After that it was just a matter of staying the course on the run.

In the end I finished in 19th place out of about 175 people and 7th in my age bracket. Not bad for someone who isn't even a swimmer...
