Minnewaska Triathlon


This past weekend I completed my 3rd triathlon, the Minnewaska Triathlon. I was a late entrant, due to our son being born just a week earlier. I was pleasantly surprised when my wife asked if I wanted to compete in the Minnewaska Triathlon, but I accepted her invitation before she had a chance to change her mind.

The distances for the Minnewaska Triathlon were as follows:

Swim: 500 yards
Bike: 10.2 miles
Run: 2.5 miles.

I had my best finish thus far, placing 33/85 male competitors, and finishing 9/23 for my age group! I still need to work on improving my swim times - a good winter time project at the gym. My bike and run times coming along nicely, and I may have to invest in a new bike - riding a mountain bike on a road course is somewhat a hindrance.

Here are the official times.

Swim - 9:13
Bike: - 31:42
Run: - 18:48

Total: - 1:01:39

I think this was my last triathlon for this season, but I look forward to next season with great anticipation.
