I actually PLACED in my triathlon yesterday!!!!
I finished 3rd out of 153 in the 25-29 age group. My overall finish was 43rd out of 2129.
Total time: 1:18:17
Swim (.75K): 12:21
Transition1: 2:47
Bike (20K): 40:17
Transition2: 1:36
Run (5K): 21:14
(Distances are approximate, per the Danskin website)
I dropped 5 minutes off my time from last year and still can't believe that I have a third place age group finish at such a large event. I'm totally stoked! Imagine if I had actually trained properly on the bike ...
It was a great day. Everyone excited, tons of energy, really positive environment. I had a great time (even though I had to wake up at 4:40 yesterday morning!)
In case you're interested, the results are posted here. Search the Results at the bottom of the page for "2007 New England." I was bib #1865.
My next tri might be an olympic distance event with an ocean swim August 26th. If registration is still open when I get paid Thursday, I'll take it as a sign to go for it. Ew. I had swimming in the ocean. Salty ...

wow. great tri!! that's awesome!
group rides: wed. nite from Scott's cycles in Willi - we meet at 6-ish and usually roll around 6:15 p.m. Avg. pace is 14-15 mph.
On Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. the Thread City Cyclers meet at a school on Rt. 203 (just off Rt. 6). There are different pace groups and different mileage. I always have a good time!
Nice friggin' job Em! That is top 2%! Bad ass! You have officially inspired me. If you know of a good first timer triathlon event let me know. We should do some biking and swimming once I move to the UConn area (next week?). Those group rides mentioned above sound like a good time.
Way to go!
