I competed alongside two friends in our first team triathlon. We came in 26/52. Not too shabby considering that only one of us have ever done anything like this, so we had no idea what to expect. However, we're hooked.
We'll be doing many more as a team next year. The team concept is great for us because our training will be limited to the event we're doing. That fits in best with our busy schedules with work and family responsibilities.
I'm the swimmer of the group, so Michael Phelps.......you better watch out.
Seriously, we had a blast. I now know why you folks like triatlons so much. I'd like to do one on my own some time, but my training time is limited, and I don't want to make it all about tri training. I can swim a couple of times a week and still carve out time for the weights (NROL).
Anyone else participate as a member of a tri team?
Kind regards,
Scott
