Danskin Triathlon

Yesterday Laura and I did the Danskin Triathlon.  It's the third time I've done it and it's fun because it's all women and a lot of first timers.  It kind of boosts your confidence, especially after my race last weekend.  

It was only a 400 meter swim I think (they thought the water would be too cold to do the usual half mile), bike 10.5 miles (also shorter), and run 3.1 miles.  Laurie decided the day before that she would do even though she hadn't been training for it.  But nevertheless she did amazing!  She's such an awesome athlete!  Her run time after the swim and bike was only 23:44 which was four minutes faster than mine.

Me after the swim.  I was so excited to see that Chris and Ross made it before the start.
