Today I ran the Super Sprint Triathlon – readers may remember I tried this for the first time last year: https://cndkmen.wordpress.com/2016/08/27/super-sprint-triathlon/. I am happy to say I shaved 4 minutes off my time from last year and finished 16/60 in my age group. Last year I had incorrect results at time of writing and I actually finished 18/47… But most important, it was way more fun than last year for several reasons: I trained and ran with Sarah this year, I knew the drill, I rode a lighter bike, and I had practiced the difficult bike-to-run transition. Sarah and me before the race:
After the swim
Lighter bike = way happier legs!
Happy legs = running legs!
I got a new medal for Rory! It’s waiting for you here in Chicago, Rory!
Well done! I don’t think I could manage the bike leg at all! Rory will be chuffed to have a medal to wear and that’s one less thing to pack (I swear it would be high up in his packing list)!
Way to go, Cindy!
Thanks, everyone! Rory, I found two more medal-like objects in our house too – medallions that Liam and Miles made when they went to sleepaway camp that show the name of their cabin.
