Swim .93 mi, Bike 25.2mi, Run 6.2mi

It was a cold and unforgiving morning on Treasure Island for 2008 Louie Memorial Triathlon. However, nothing would deter the hearty souls of the Ironteam on this day.

After the coaches briefing we were sent on a half mile walk to the beach where the swim start was. Not that I was nervous or anything, but it was here where Jesus reminds me that you are supposed to wait till you are in the water before you pee in your suit.

After doing very well for the first time in open water, it was onto the bike for 6 laps around a 4.2 mile course. I am blurry in this picture because I am absolutely hauling ass...

I rather enjoy hauling ass, quite frankly....




















Finally onto the run, something I actually do well, unless of course I swim and bike for two hours immediately before hand...

This was my first Olympic Triathlon and I had an absolute blast. I already had a lot of respect for anyone who did these. Now that I have had a taste of this I have that much more. This is as addicting as anything else I have done. I absolutely love it. Absolutely....
