swim! bike! run!

I did my first triathlon (sprint length) on Sunday - the danskin triathlon here in Seattle! It was fun and a great challenge to tackle as the longest thing I've done before this is a 5k. True to Seattle form, it was raining the entire time, and during the bike portion the wind and rain both picked up, we were also getting a crosswind across the lake as the bike course was across one of the floating bridges here. it's 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike, and 5k run. Here's me running past after the swim course -


- and here's the beginning of the bike course, with the 'transition area' behind - thousands of people changing between events. I just wanted to do the whole thing at a good pace and comfortably, which Idid - however I'm already looking forward to doing it even faster next year. ;) good times.
