I am a triathlete :)

After 22 marathons, I finally completed my first triathlon!  Thanks to the YMCA for helping me overcome a fear of my head being underwater that I have pretty much had since childhood.  A shout out also to Ironman Darrell who walked us through transitions at the triathlon clinic I organized.  I know, somehwat self-serving, but there were plenty of first timers in the red9runner group that needed to learn as well.  The clinic was great and we all learned a lot about how triathlons function.  In August I completed my very first sprint triathlon.  In spite of a less than stellar swim, I didn't do that bad in the overall placement.  I can't wait to tackle another but decided to hold off until Spring to accomodate the rest of my fall running schedule.  I continue to work on my swimming skills in hopes of some day attempting open water so I can do a 1/2 ironman!
