I'm ALIVE!!!!! (But it was just a practice triathlon!)

Flat As A Pancake - Sprint Triathlon
Saturday, June 12 2010

Actual Chip Finishing Time: 1:48:47
I'm alive!.... Barely.
(but this was just a practice run, but i still only 5 weeks till the real deal NYC Triathlon) 5 weeks sounds like a long time, but 35 days sounds like I've almost run out of time.

• Swim: Felt like near death in very choppy salty water. Absolutely brutal. I'm definitely going to have to work on my open water swimming skills, and swimming in a large crowd when people are clawing at your feet, sides, and back. Also, I will NOT be having Naked Juice before the NYC Triathlon. More to come on that.
• Bike: Was still recovering from the swim experience, but did okay
• Run: Chugging along, and made it my goal to not walk at all! I'm actually kind of impressed with myself at the pace I was able to keep.
  

All I can say, is that I'm happy to be alive, and I am officially now a triathlete.
