TriItNow Father's Day mini-Tri

I competed in my first triathlon in over twenty years this past Sunday, albeit a mini-tri. It was a 175 yd swim in a pool time (trial-like start with swimmers going every five seconds), followed by a four mile bike and a 1.4 mile run. The swim is always my weakest event and this was no exception. I finished fine for me but am sure I lost quite a bit of time to the good swimmers. But what I lost in the swim I made up on the bike and the run. I entered the water 30th out of 60 competitors and ended up being the fifth racer to cross the finish line. My time was good for fourth overall. If I ever get to the point where I could become a stronger swimmer I just might become dangerous.
