100 meters (4 laps), 4 mile bike ride, and 1/2 mile run. I did it. I actually ended up being 93rd place out of 382 (9-10 year olds). Which is in the top 25th percentile. My time was 29 minutes, 46 seconds. (The fastest kid did it in 19 minutes.) A drastic improvement since the last time I did this (we skipped last year). In the years prior, I almost always finished in the last group...like the very last group. But my swimming has improved a lot, I'm more comfortable swimming. And my bike is fast. Like really fast. The bad part was that it was so hot. It was scorching. But I did it and I'm happy with my accomplishment. That and Dad promised to get me a DS3...if I finished in the top 50th percentile. Well...I beat that goal and then some. So there!
Our transition area. Me on one side and B on the other (though we go at different times)
Check out my awesome bike.
Lots of bikes, lots of kids!
We're ready.
Pool
Waiting for my wave to be called.
Chatting with my lane partner.
Feels so good in the pool
And we're off!
Running to the transition area for biking...
Run fast...the ground is burning my toes!
Helmet, check, shoes, check...let's go!
Back for the run
Hat, check...sunglasses, check...
I finished...Yay!!!
Finally, I can sit down...in the shade! Hottest day!
