This past weekend we and our friend Chris did a sprint triathlon! This was our very first triathlon, so we were just doing it for fun, no real compe
tition. It was sponsored by a YMCA, so the swim took place in their pool (which was good, so we didn't drown on our first race). That was 500 yards, then we ventured out into the cool misty weather to bike 12.5 miles. The last leg was a 3 mile run, which is surprisingly tough on your muscles after biking. We finished well and were still able to get up the next morning without too much groaning. We had the best support team ever- Seth, Garrett, Larry and Laura were arou
nd almost every corner cheering us on with much enthusiasm! We couldn't have done it without them! (At least not ending with a smile) It was a great 
experience, so we'll see if it will be an ongoing thing, or just a once in a lifetime event.Here is the link to the website for results, (which are not in yet, but you can check if you want when they do come up) http://www.trifind.net/triathlons/pennsylvania/southern_branch_ymca/
