MiM Tri

The Orgill Park just north of Millington Navy Base was a great spot for this past weekend’s Olympic Triathlon. I was able to camp in the park along the edge of the golf course. Accommodations were wonderful.
Teaming up with Jamin’ Julie and Blue Duke, the three of us planned for a great day and took 7th place in the Mixed Relay division.

My first mass start in swimming, I quickly realized just how bad I sucked. People were grabbing at my feet as they climbed over me. At 30.52 minutes everyone from 15 year old Paige to 70 year old Susan whoop me. There were a lot of great swimmers there and I know where I must focus my next training. Handing off the race chip, Duke sprinted off on a 22.4 mph ride and an excellent time. Realizing I couldn’t just stand around, I bootlegged into the ride and run, tracking my own unofficial times. Julie finished us up strong completing the 10K in 46 minutes. The greatest part of these races are all the friends you get to meet again and again. Yes even Ronnie, Crazy Ashley and Dee were there. Next year we will do the Mtn and Road Tri’s.
