Danskin Triathlon

Nice Stride!


Finishing up the Danskin, about to begin my stride.


Heading out on the bike.
On Sunday I completed my third Triathlon of the season and it was my best so far. My goals were: swim under 19 min, bike higher than 17.3 mph, have better than an 11 minute mile, and have a better overall time than any other triathlon. I accomplished three of the four!!! I biked 17.7 mph, had a 10:15 minute mile, and posted my best time of 1:37:04 (14 seconds better than my last tri three weeks ago). I just missed my swim goal by 9 seconds. We are still throwing around the idea of doing another one in 3 weeks in Lake Geneva; I think that I will have to check out the course, because there is a hill on the run called 'Killer Hill.' We'll see!
