Triathlon #2 is Complete!

Yes, I finished the Mercer Island "Escape From the Rock" triathlon this last weekend! Things went much better this time around. My bike chain stayed on and my time was an hour better because of it.

The only thing that wasn't so great was my endless nausea throughout the the whole process. I think I sucked down too much water during the swim. Oh, and about the swim - the water was much colder than usual! I was a bit shell-shocked for the first 5 minutes but finally got into a groove.

Mercer Island is so beautiful! I love participating in this triathlon every year.

Here are a couple of pics from my day of pain...er, fun. :-)

Just before the swim...

Just after the swim. Yeah, I was a little tired and nauseated.

The bike leg was great! They shut down the express lanes on I-90 just for us!

Yes! Finally done!

Ooh, pretty finisher's medal! :-)
