Canby Triathlon
May 12th, 2007 at 4:38 pm (Triathlon)
Today I did the Gator Grinder triathlon in Canby, which was 500m swim, 12mi bike, and 3.1mi run. I took 2nd in my age group, behind a 19 year-old franken-tri, and my time was about 1 hour, 8 minutes.
The bike course was full of hills and sharp corners — yummy. I charged down every hill, and as a result I got the following uphill free.
Also the bike-to-run transition was a lot easier than it was last time; it didn’t take me a whole mile to get used to running, like it did before. It might be because the last time I went for a bike ride, my dad made me go running afterwards…
I uploaded a video of my bike dismount, for its radness. Also notice the cheesy ’70s music playing in the background.
And here’s my running finish.
