Tri #2

On May 20th we did our second Tri of the season. This one was a 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike, and 2.6 mile run. It was held in Deerfield. Here are some of the photographer's photos of the event. It'll give you a good perspective of how much fun these event's are!

I'm in a couple of the swim photos, but I'm not going to tell you which ones! Ha! They're not too flattering...hee hee.

Well, I hate to say it, but Andy beat me again! Andy came in at 1:01:18 and I was 1:03:16, and our friend Melissa crossed at 1:05:14. He even beat me in the swim...and this from a guy who always whines that he's going to drown in the race. So much for my not-training-for-the-race strategy. It doesn't seem to be working too well for me!

The race was a lot of fun (besides having to get up at 4:30am). It was a wonderful day...no wind, calm ocean, and a sunrise that was absolutely breath-taking. I forgot how a sunrise over the ocean makes the orange sun appear liquid or molten as it rises above the watery horizon.
