Yesterday, I competed in, and completed my first triathlon. I could not have asked for better weather, it was 80 and sunny! I set a personal goal of completing the triathlon in 1 hour and 20 minutes, my official time was 1 hour 19 minutes and 47 seconds; I achieved my goal! Here is the time break down:- Swim: 8:59
- Bike: 40:32
- Run: 24:27
Total: 1:19:47
Upon completion, I felt such an overwhelming joy of accomplishment, I had to use the little amount of energy I had to fight back tears. I am happy my wife and daughter were able to be there with me to share my excitement. You can view some pictures from the Buffalo Triathlon at http://picasaweb.google.com/troythetechguy My experience was great, I am strongly considering registering for the Graniteman Triathlon in St. Cloud on July 13th!
Last, and certainly not least, I want to thank all of you who contributed to the cause that started it all, ending world hunger. You'll be happy to know that as a group we raised $5,000 to help end world hunger! Please know that as I dug deep for motivation to push forward towards the end of the triathlon, your pledge help me find the extra boost of energy to finish strong.
Thank you,
Triathlon Troy
