Panther Pride Triathlon

I can now check off another thing off my bucket list.  I finished my first triathlon Saturday.  I participated in the Panther Pride Triathlon at Ellsworth College in Iowa Falls.  The swim was very tough as expected, but surprisingly my time was a little better than I expected.  The bike ride went well aside from having to stop for a leg cramp.  I am actually a little disappointed with the time of my run, but I finished it and had a blast doing it.  I think it is safe to say that is not the only tri I will do. 

When I got back, I decided to meet up with the riders doing the Sweet Corn Ride.  I left my house to try and meet up with them in Redfield.  I got about halfway between Adel and Redfield and that is where I found the crew.  I had a good time and put on another 50 miles.  I rode back home about 20 miles in the dark and, for once, did not get lost :)  Maybe I am finally starting to get familiar with the trails around here. 

Since I did the tri yesterday, I had to postpone my weekend training run until today.  On the agenda is a 16 mile run.  My legs are a little sore from yesterday, but I am going to try and fight through it.  I'm just glad it is somewhat cool today. 

Hope everyone else had a good weekend.  Make this coming week a good one.  As always, please remember to keep the people suffering in your thoughts and prayers.
