1:38 at 56

The day after I turned 56 I competed in my first triathlon. The swim was the hardest--I had a hard time regulating my breathing, even though I trained the most on the swim. At the last minute, I switched to Rich's bike, which has street tires, instead of mine that I trained on, which has mountain bike tires, so I really flew, as it seemed so much easier to peddle! I did all three sections in my Vibrams and felt great. Already planning for next year! Thanks, Joella, for inviting me to do this with you!
