2005 Try Andy's Tri:

For those of you that thought I was full of shit!

I am. But that aside, I wasn't kidding about doing triathlons. I got a slow start last year, but a start nonetheless. I finally received these pictures from the sprint triathlon I ran last August and thought I would share them. And seeing how the infamous Hula Skirt pictures went over so well on the web, I figured these might garner a few laughs.

The "triathlon I ran" would be an exaggeration because I ran very little, but I finished. The run segment of a triathlon is last, and I was basically out of gas, so I walked about half of the run. But I finished. I finished in 1:36.08. 62nd out of 64 in my age group, 569th out of 700.

DON'T LAUGH :-)

I'm using these pictures of the pain I was in to motivate me as I begin training for the 2006 season. It totally sucks gettin back to the gym since late October. I feel so much better though when I'm working out to a certain extent. If anyone is interested in joining me this year in any of the triathlons, just let me know. I'm planning on doing 4 or 5 this year. It's definitely a spiritual experience for sure.
