Vancouver All American Triathlon

Vancouver All American Triathlon

I trained for and swam, biked and ran in the Vancouver All American Triathlon.
Results

I held my own with the swimming, coming in around mid pack. I only have a mountain bike so the cycling section was like watching other cyclists in sped up motion. I did not train as well on the bike as I would like. And I have had a number of injuries to overcome this summer on the run. I ran 23:04 5K which is not impressive but was the fastest I have run one this injury plagued summer. I was 51/93 on the swim 65/93 on the bike and 22/93 on the run.

It took about one hour and twenty five minutes and was one of the more exhausting things I have ever done. In my head, once I got to the bike I could take in the fluids and food. But the start of the bike was uphill and I did not get my first drink in until a couple of miles later.

It was a good learning experience. I think I will do more triathlons once I get a marathon under my belt.
