race day! - a photo on Flickriver

race day!

It's race day.  I head out for my triathlon.  There is more bad weather lurking in the area.  They cancel the swim and convert my triathlon into a duathlon.  My first triathlon!  How dare they!

So I ran 1.5 miles, biked 15.5 miles, and then ran 3.1 miles.  No triathlon for me.  I'm no triathlete yet.  I'm a stupid duathlete.  Who wants that?

Honestly the race officials did what they could.  There were dangerous thunderstorms with tons of lightning.  They cancelled the race right after I finished.  And we got 4.5 inches of rain in an hour.  Everything flooded.  K. and I got soaked hurrying to the car and got out just in time by driving through some deep water, just like they tell you not too.

Now I am tired.  I did what there was to do.  I did not swim in the river, and I did not complete my first triathlon. 

Yet.
