triathlon

friends of ours have the great tradition of celebrating their anniversary by throwing their own triathlon. ben and i decided to give it a try. below is the whole group at the starting line. 

it began with a 1/2 mile swim in walden pond, followed by a 16 mile bike around the streets of concord, and finishing with a 5k run around the pond.

ben was kind enough to wait for me so we could finish together (no, we did not win, but it sure was fun breaking the tape).

finishing in 2 hours and 9 mins i think it was a successful first triathlon.
