Signed up for my first triathlon

It was a long time coming, but I have signed up for my first triathlon. It will be held on August 30th and it is the “Try-a-Tri” variant which consists of 200m swim, 15km bike and a 3km run. My brother has been persuading me to try a couple events before the season is out, but I had to wait till my ACL recovery was 100% and I think I am at the stage where I can do this event without any problem.

About a month ago or so, I have started swimming and have already moved up to the second fastest lane after just two weeks, so I am in good company as it consists of quite a few triathletes.

On another note, I have started playing Ultimate again in the middle of July. I have already 3 or 4 games under my belt and the last game I played resulted in two end goals. So, I think I am beginning to get comfortable with the sport again, but I need to be cautious and make sure I do not do anything stupid on the fields.

Anyway….I am about to head out in little over an hour to UPI to participate in our playoffs. Our team is top ranked in the second tier, so I hope we stay that way. :-)

More about the finals once they are complete with photo’s too.

    It should be a good time. Hopefully I won’t need the life guard on the swim portion.
