Magnathon Triathlon


Magnathon Triathlon
Originally uploaded by rfin.

Swam, biked and ran my first triathlon today in Magna. Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation included a novice category in the Magnathon Triathlon so those of designated with an "N" only had to swim 200 meters, bike 12 miles and run one mile. I finished in 1:20.52 which was good enough for a first place ribbon in my age group. Dave and Dalon also scored blue ribbons in their age groups. All in all a great first triathlon experience. I knew I'd be OK with the swimming and biking but the run was the intimidating part for this former non-runner.

I'm a little late, but congrats. I'm contemplating my first triathalon. I can't decide whether my best chance for a ribbon is as a novice or a clydesdale.
