In July I did my first triathlon. I was petrified to think that my first one would be a swim in the ocean, but my only saving grace was that it was a "sprint" triathlon, which means a short one.
The swim was 400m in the San Diego Ocean then a 10km cycle and a 3 mile run.
It was just AMAZING - enough to get me hooked.
Jacques decided to do the duathlon - a 1 mile run, 10 mile cycle and 3 mile run. He wanted to wait a bit with the ocean swim.
Here he is coming in to the finish.
