The Grandman Triathlon



This Saturday will be anoth first for me. I started riding a bike again a few months ago when I decided to do the Grandman. It is a sprint triathlon (for some people maybe); but I am excited. I have never tried this and if I can finish in less than 2 1/2 hours, I will be pleased.

I have a new road bike this week and already I can tell you that a road bike makes a huge difference over a mountain bike. I will update with pictures after the event but I got my cool baby blue swim cap and my number (#18).

Now that I have done my first one, I can honestly say that the swim is the hardest part. I finished in 1:55:24 which I am very happy about. The next event is June 25th at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, AL.
