Guilderland YMCA Indoor Triathlon

March 30th, 2008
One of my 2008 goals was to accomplish a triathlon. Today I completed an indoor mini triathlon. It was almost the same as a triathlon except, it was a 15 minute swim, 15 minute stationary bike and a 15 minute run. It was a blast!!! Kelly & Marilyn participated in it with me as did many other people from the "Y". I did pretty good considering....I did not practice swimming in the pool much, only two times. Every time I got in I froze. In the bike portion I completed a distance of 8.54 miles. My running distance was 1.66 miles and my swim portion was 612.5 meters. I kicked butt in the bicycling portion of the tri with second place of all the women. I ROCK ! I am so proud of myself that I did this. It gave me the courage to go on and want to do the real triathlon when it comes up in the summer. I'll keep you updated on that event.
