Lynn and I completed our first triathlon this weekend. It was organized by Morgan’s Canoe Livery at Ft. Ancient. There were nearly 1,000 participants. We raced with some friends from the gym where Lynn works out.
The race is three stages:
- Canoe 6 miles – Lynn and I failed the first two miles. Then we found our groove and really started to cook. Thankfully, the river level was very high this weekend.
- Run 5 miles – While I could do this, Lynn is not yet ready to run this distance. And the run ends at “Killer Hill”. She really thought she was going to die.
- Bike 18 miles – About halfway through, I said “Come on Lynn, we walked faster than this!” Naturally, that didn’t go over very well. It was the quote of day.
The weather was superb and we had a great day. The next race is in October and training starts now. We’ll beat our time. Lynn is already looking for other partners.
