In early August I ran my second-ever triathlon. It was a sprint distance: .5 mile swim, 12 mile bike, and 3.1 mile run.

I ran the exact same triathlon two years ago and got almost exactly the same time on every event. I guess that's what happens when you follow the same training program. I was within 30 seconds for each of my legs, including the transitions.

My friend Laura and I both ran the race. She started 4 minutes before me. I was able to pass her on the bike. Then Laura was able to pass me on the run (not my strong suit) and we finished with very similar times.

My friends Kristin (aka Richard) and Liz Swary were in town visiting, so they came out to cheer us on.

| Thanks for the sweatshirt! |
This medal - as well as our post-race breakfast at Denny's - was well-earned!

That's crazy that your times were so close. That's a good training program.
