Sprint Triathlon - Done!

Today I participated in a sprint triathlon at Lake Chaparral in the south of Calgary.  It was a 750 m swim in the lake, a 20 km bike and a 5.5 km run.  I enjoy all three disciplines, but swimming is by far my weakest.  Thankfully it was a beautiful calm, clear lake and I had a wetsuit that I think helped me stay buoyant, even when the sprint distance men surged behind me.  Seeing Todd and the kids cheer me on also helped keep me motivated.
