Short Tri, Slow Bike, 8th Place
This weekend I participated in the Foothills Charity Triathlon, which took place in Okotoks.
I feel great about how I did—eighth out of fifty-five males. I completed a 500m swim, 20km ride, and 5km run in 1:07:23! Of course, this race didn’t have a lot of elite racers (next week’s Coral Springs race will), but my time was still respectable. I really tanked out on the bike ride (16 out of 55) and I’m not sure why. I think I might have injured myself about a month back, because I’ve been feeling slow on my bicycle in general lately. I should probably ice the area in question and refrain from riding.
If you’re interested, you can see results at this webpage.

Whoa, 8th!!!! And 5th in the run! Congratulations!
And what area would you be icing? Wait, I don’t want to know.
The area is in an uncomfortable spot. Really uncoomfortable.
