Triathlon 1 down... just the real one to go...

Well, my first experience of a triathlon was exciting!

Though I came 307th, I was still in the top 41%.  Not bad for a non-sporty type, I thought.

Daniel (my boss) did the swim, which was 800m (not 700m as we all thought!)  I did a 26km cycle, then Chris (the young 'un in the group) did an 8km run.  His time was sensational - beating his own personal best by 10%.

I was a little disappointed in my time, but things can only get better.

I am still in training for the real thing on 17 Feb (where I do the swim, cycle then run).  I am still thinking "why oh why did I say yes?" but I'm sure it will be fun on the day.  And the weight loss and fitness gain is a welcome plus.

Check out the new Flickr photos.  You'll also find the ones from Victoria's Gay & Lesbian Pride march, which was later the same day!

Til next time, TTFN.  G xXx
