Woohoo!!! 600 yard swim, 16.2 mile bike, 3 mile run in 1 hour 36 minutes and 10 seconds. I came in 69th place (among beginners)!
There were two awesome parts about the race. One was the weather. Ominous clouds threatened rain the whole time, but it didn’t rain until afterward. We had the benefit of nice shady clounds the whole time! The best part of the course was the end of the bike section. In the beginning you bike around one end of the lake. Then in the last mile+ you’re riding across Lake Guntersville. Beautiful! I’m looking forward to doing more triathlons. Two more sprint triathlons as a beginner then maybe an olympic distance?
