Race season just about over

Well, it looks like my triathlon season is over. There's just the Vancouver one left, that's too soon for me, plus it starts at 7:00 in the morning. Which should be against some kind of official rule. Not much else happening. The only thing left on my agenda is to do the Abbotsford Police challenge 10K run on Sept 23, so now I should focus on my running more. Too bad, I would have liked to do another triathlon in October. There are probably a few running races yet if I wanted, but they are so boring in comparison!

I should make my own triathlon, the sawatzky fall classic...hmm, cultus lake, ummm, well I'll work on it.

Time to look back now...hard to believe I accomplished all my goals for this year. I competed in an Olympic triathlon. 5 races total so far, 2 with age group medals. Triathlon is a fun, fun sport. Next year: half iron? We'll see. First I gotta get a non-hybrid bike!

The Day

The day started off with a phone call with an automated message saying: "Congratulations! you have been randomly selected to be given an all expenses paid trip to Florida! Press '9' for more details..."

More from the Tri without borders triathlon

This is a test of my new blog system. This blog seems to be much better than my old one, so I think I will switch.

Trying to upload these images...

These are from the tri without borders triathlon in Blaine WA. Starts in Canada, then you swim across to the US and finish the race. Neat idea, and a really beautiful event.

Note that the time displayed in the run wasn't my actual time. My time was 2:31:44. Because of the weird swim start due to the tides, the clock started late, or something weird like that. I know, you may be thinking, "Why tell me? Just take the clock time?". I don't want a pretend time. :) It would sorta be like taking steroids...if my body can't do it, I don't want to do it.

Here are the race results. I was 77th.
