I Did It!

I completed my first triathlon in 1:33 today. It was fun, perfect weather,
and had an awesome cheering section of family from MN and MA in the
house (or shall I say, on the beach)! Woke at 6:19a (nerves hit a little
during the night), ate breakfast, and did a "slow and low" 4.8mile
bike ride (+gear) from Fulton house to Sandy Beach in Cohasset.
Upon arrival, ocean was dead still. Set up transition area and took
a quick dip in the water (57 degrees) with wetsuit. I was in the 9th
wave, so hung out for a bit on the beach watching other groups
hit the swimming section and listening to music by 92FM "The River".
From the start of the swim to the finish it was go-go-go, although the
running felt a little slow. However, kept it at a nice constant pace
(there were definitely some rolling roads on that section). I was
wiped at the end, however I think the 8-week training paid off!
The Supah Stealth team now have t-shirts designed by Kathleen.
They are creating some "supah" conversations.
This has been dedicated to BJW.
