Finally, I had a moment to write about my great achievement of the Summer: the triathlon. You can check out the results here, but I didn't do as well as I hoped (Overall time: 1:38:15, 159th out of 197 people). The swim turned out to be my worst event (20:34 min - 159th)). Swimming in a large group, trying to plough through 100 other swimmers was tougher than I expected. I did OK on the bike (44:05 min - 170th), but what I messed up on the swim and bike, I made up on the run (33.37 min - 136th)... I passed all the girls in my sight: what an awesome feeling to pass all these people at the end.

Because I think I can do much better on the swim, and if I train more on a bike, I think I can improve my 170th standing on the bike, I am definitely going to do another triathlon... maybe next summer. I'll keep you posted. For now, check out the triathlon slideshow.

This Summer I'll be doing a triathlon (sprint distance) for the first time.  I've decided to set myself a goal for the individual events:  Swim (750m) in 17 minutes, Bike (20km) in 45 minutes, Run (5km) in 30 minutes.  We'll see how I actually do on Sunday, August 19, 2007 (In Calgary, Lake Chaparral Triathlon).  Come and cheer me on if you have the time.
