2 triathlons

I did 2 sprint triathlons this summer, which is what it takes to qualify for the National Senior Games since Maryland Senior Olympics does not offer triathlon. I completed both with approximately zero training. Not recommended.

First 5k of 2012

Finished up my first 5k of the year and it was ... okay. Didn't quite hit my goals but it was a nice little race and I'm glad I went. Looping around a quiet park on a paved trail, only problem was some rolling hills and wearing WAY too much clothing so I overheated by about Mile 1. I ended up taking SEVERAL unplanned walk breaks, when I really did not want to take any.

Just for the logbook, finish time on my Garmin was 36:38 for a slightly long course, my 11:33 pace would have gotten me 35:48 on a 3.10-mile course.

Saw Jeanne and we were laughing about both kicking ourselves for signing up for the Disney 5k before the Princess half marathon in 2 weeks!!

So I was slower and fatigued faster than I wanted, but NO MAJOR PAIN and knees and ankles cooperated, so all is well. Another finish line crossed!
