Garden City Triathlon









On Sept, 1st, a week after the last triathlon, I competed in the Garden City Triathlon - which was an Olympic distance (1 mi swim, 40K [22mi] bike ride, 10K [6.2mi] run). This was a challenge since it was twice the distance of the last triathlon, and the swim was in open water (Frenchtown Pond). The race drew many serious athletes - a few professional. I finished in 2 hrs and 50 min, and was very proud of my time even though I had very low tires throughout my bike ride. I can see why people enjoy the competition of traithlons... it is addicting!
