Well I did the Mermaid Tri and finished!!! I was slow, but steady and I can't believe how great it was. It was extra nice because it was literally in my old backyard. The bike route took us right by my old neighborhood where I grew up. The timing chip didn't register our swim but I think they tried to manually adjust our times, I think they put me at 1:40 but I'm gonna say there was a 5-10 margin of error. I was shooting for 1:30. So who's really counting!
My friend Kim went with me, I'm so glad too because all the other ladies that trained with me were in the 40+ category and I couldn't go in the same wave as them!!! Not 40 yet!!!! The swim was hard, the 400 meters looked more like 2000, then ensured us it was an optical illusion.
I was done by 9:45am so you know I got up super duper early. Now I have to get back on the bike et al and get ready for the next one in 2 weeks. That one is slightly longer so this one was a great starter race for me. My very first one - oh what a day!
Good job! Did your asma kick in during the swim? Congratulations on finishing! I probably could have finished it in under and hour. BIG LOL on that one.
