Triathlon!


This is somewhat unrelated to the buns, but Dad (aka - me) finished his first triathlon this weekend at the UC Davis Sprint Triathlon! It was a nice, sunny day in Davis (near Sacramento). There was a field of about 180 competitors - many of which were on college triathlon teams.

The swim was 0.5 miles in a pool, followed by a windy 18 mile flat bike course, then a 4 mile run on the campus. My time was 1 hour 53 minutes. I was happy to have 1) finished and 2) broken 2 hours (my goal going in). It was definitely a good time and a confidence builder for the several other races I signed up for this year (including the race in September).

So the moral is ... maybe I can finish my race in September???

  1. Congratulations Matt!! I can deal with the running bit, it's the swim/bike part that scares me... And another in September? Isn't having twins triathlon enough for you? :)
