A Personal Note...

Success! After racing in a few sprint distance triathlons last year, I have been training for my first Olympic distance triathlon. Last weekend I traveled to central California to race in the Wildflower triathlon. The distances are 1.5 k-swim, 40 k-bike, 10 k-run. I beat my goal time of three hours on this very hilly course by just over two minutes. Training and racing in this event was very rewarding, and I plan on returning next year.
