St.Albert Starrt Triathlon (sprint) · 5 September 08
8 days after the Quebec City Marathon I participated in the St.Albert Starrt Triathlon. “Sprint” is the fancy way of saying it was a half triathlon. 750 metres of swimming, 20 km of cycling and 5 km of running. Sounds like fun right? Well, YES it certainly was!
I took 1:42:08 to do all that (including the transitions). My goal was to finish in under 2 hours so I really exceeded my expectations! WOO! Plus, when I crossed the finish line, my first words to Ellie (after “I need some water” (I dropped my Gatorade about halfway through the cycling portion)) were “That was awesome!”.
I can’t wait to do it again and there has even been some chatter about me and my cousin training for the 2010 Ironman in Penticton. Now that would be something! We’ll see…
Anywho, it was a great time and I thank Dave and Bill for getting me on board. Dave bailed on the race itself but Bill kicked my ass with a time of 1:24:59. Next year Bill… next year!
