I competed in an Indoor Triathalon on Sunday and placed first for the first time ever in my gender/age group! I've been running for about two years and this was my 4th Indoor Triathalon, so I was pretty amazed. Indoor Triathalons have helped to keep up my endurance over the winter while living in a snow globe in Michigan. The Tri was 20 minutes in the pool, 20 minutes on stationary bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Wierd thing is...I'm strongest on the bike and run really slowwww in a Tri. Maybe I should take up biking? Nahhhh....

Wow. That is amazing. You must be, justifiably, very very proud of yourself. Well done.

Congrats! It wasn't the Iron Mac Tri, was it?

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

Nope. It was a little Indoor Triathalon at a local club (ie the swim ended up to be close to 1/2 mile). Next one they are holding is March 7 - MVP in GR, Michigan. An Indoor Ironman would be hard to imagine....
