Member 41 |  Subject: I AM A TRIATHLETE!!!At around 11:00 AM today I became I triathlete. I finished the Colchester Triathlon in Vermont. Highlights ... the 800 yard swim was closer to 1000 yards because the wind kept pushing the bouys further out into the lake. Watching the womens wave (who started 5 minutes after the men in the swim) catch up to you is intimidating! GU is great before a race, but lousy (for me at least) during a race. I can't run for crap after the swim and bike. I never got my legs back under me. One guy who passed me at the beginning of the run beat me by 13 minutes in the last 2.7 miles or so. It was a blast... I can't wait to do it again. I am guessing I will sleep VERY well tonight! Brent Magnant (TRIATHLETE!)

| Member 41 | Subject: RE: I AM A TRIATHLETE!!! The official results are in. The Colchester Tri is fun, but lo budget. So they don't do transition timing. They include T1 in the swim time, and T2 on the run time, so the bike time is the only 'real' time. Swim and T1 - 33:19 23rd of 39 in AG Bike - 41:25 27th in AG T2 and Run - 36:14 38th in AG So it looks like I fell apart at the run. It was hot, I was tired... and I had nothing left. I think a lot of it was mental, I should have been able to do better in the run. That is the one that I have been working on the most consistently. But at 6'8" and 260 lbs, I'll never run with the little guys! But I am sure there are at least a few minutes to be picked up in transitions.
