Yesterday I completed my first ever olympic distance triathlon: .93 mile swim, 26 mile bike ride, and 6 mile run (33 miles total).  My finishing time was 4 hours and 6 minutes.  Not a record, but not bad for someone who almost threw up 14 months ago when he swam 6 laps (I have come a long way).  Completing a triathlon was one of my goals for the new year and this marks my third triathlon this year (the others were sprint distances (read significantly shorter)).  So, no image of the day today, but I did want to share my weekend adventure.  I will be back to my usual photography topics tomorrow.

      Thanks Ali. It took almost 10 months to reach this point, but it has been well worth it.
