Trying...

Yesterday was unique. It was the first time my sister and I have participated in a Try-a-Tri.
(300m swim -10 km bike ride- 2.5 km run)

We had never even seen an event like this, and we were pretty nervous as there are some rules and conduct expectations for the athletes we were unaware of. eg. if you put unrack your bike before putting on your helmet you get a time penalty on your overall time!

The course was laid out in Lac Du Bonnet, where a swim course was made in the lake, a bike track was made along the highway and the run was on the run through town. It was pretty great. Along the beach and sides of the road were people cheering, and shouting encouragement...it very motivating.

We learned alot and we both accomplished our goals - to finish the race!
It was kind of unnerving to be passed on the run by an old man with a big white beard...who was running a race that twice the distance I was! But now I have a new goal in life! To run faster than little men, and small children!

It was fun, fun, fun and I will be doing that again! Fun!!!
