So about 2 months ago Phil conned me into signing up for the Sherminator Triathlon. I know it sounded scary to me at first too, but it was only a "sprint" triathlon, which means only 500 yard swim, 10 mile bike ride, and 3.1 mile run. I mean really, how hard could that be? Well after the first 17 minutes in the water, making it back to land was amazing, if only it ended there. Phil and I were in the first wave of guys to go, so apparently that set me up well to get passed by about 150 people on the bike portion of the race. But I have been running, so I should be able to pass a bunch of them back in the run, right? WRONG! Well I passed some, but not quite as many as had passed me before. Overall it was fun, but very tiring. Phil ended up with a time around 1 hour 18 minutes, and I came in about 1 hour and 23 minutes. The 5 minute difference was mostly the swim that I did poorly, but Phil did beat me on every part of the race except the 1st transition, which I crushed him in. Here are some pictures of the events. I am sure Kim will post pictures too, but right now I think she is being a slacker!
Phil and I the night before the race trying on our swim caps
We are not sure why, but they gave us nice shirts, but they were just a little short.
This is me finishing the race.
This is the group that crushed the Sherminator. Phil, Jon, Jenny, Stacy, and Anne. We should all get together and NOT do this again!
