Triathlon
I did the Corvallis triathlon today. 1000 meter swim, 12k bike, 4k run. There were 49 participants, and some of them were other Bearcats. This one is more heavily oriented on the swim, because it’s designed for swimmers. I got first in my age group (but Adam and I were the only ones in our age group), and 12th overall, with a time of 59:51. The first place guy overall, Tyler Storie (Senior Nationally ranked swimmer), got 46 minutes something. I didn’t have time to train for the running, so I’m having trouble walking now.
The biking part was hilly, but not as bad as the Stayton triathlon. I was still out of breath on the hills though.
At the end I was wondering if I would collapse, so I went to hang onto a nearby fence. But then that raised the question of whether I would make it to the fence or not…

I only slept on the ride back, but that’s saying a lot because when we were about halfway home we realized we had forgotten all my gear at the pool so we had to go back and get it.

[…] I did the Corvallis Triathlon today (1k swim, 12k bike, 4k run). I won my age group, but I think there were only three people in it. I also improved over a minute from last year, with a time of 58:42, but the running course was a little bit different. […]
