Triangle Triathlon - Swimming in Brown Muck
Total procrastination takes over. Should be working but thought I'd add a note about my latest adventure at the Triangle Triathlon.
Man, I hate sprints. Since I am not a zippy swimmer, this race doesn't give me much time to catch folks on the bike or run. And the swim was in lake Crabtree - a large body of brown yuck. Got out of the swim and my tri top was permanently stained brown.
Bike went OK - no speed records. Lost contact lense at mile 10. Finished rest of race legally blind.
Ran a zippy 5K in 19:09 - not bad for a forty-year old mother of 3 boys.
Getting ready for Timberman 70.3 in August. Body starting to resent hard training - hope I can walk upright for another month and get through this race.
