VERT is on a distinguished road
1st Triathalon

Competed in my 1st Triathalon today, was a team event and I was the cyclist, we just did this for a bit of fun. Was quite supprised at the amount of professional/ looking competitors there and we freaked out a bit. But I think we did quite well comming in with the 1st 3rd of the compeititors, we are not too sure what our results are yet but will prob find out in a couple of days.

But man I have never biked so hard in my life!!!!!!!!! I was sooooo stuffed afterwards, I could bearly walk

This was a bit of a change from the norm for me as I am a regular mountain biker (downhill, I suck at uphill), so I think I did qute well. I just tried to make sure that it was only road bikes passing me, prob about 75% of the cycle competitors there had road bikes.


Now I want a road bike and wanna do this again

Congrats Vert. That is a major accomplishment. How long was the bike race and what about the other two legs of the competition?
