WHY TRI?

Last Saturday we did our first triathlon in Madison, CT on the day of the big storm from the hurricain. So unfortunately they ended up cancelling the swimming portion and adding another run at the beginning and lenghtened the bike ride. So we ended up doing a run, bike, run (duathlon) rather than a swim, bike, run. All in all it eneded up being a great experience and the weather wasn't even that bad during the race.




Look at how intense Cardon is charging the finish. That's my man.



We aren't sure how, but I took 3rd place in my division and won this sweet fleece vest.

Some bikers commented on how we were "Mad Dawgs" for racing on single speeds.

We caught kind of a bug after this experience and have since signed up for another Triathlon on the 4th of Oct. in New Jersey, called the Bassman Tri it is rated in the top 40 for the nation and is suposed to be beeautiful. We are training for the swim in this awesome cheap city sponsered rec center in Chelsea full of funny characters.
