at least i finished

on sunday i competed in my first tri of the season, the miami international triathlon. as you all know i was sick. how did it go? well, it went.
i finished with the time of 2:48:38. i know, i know. it's still pretty good, especially considering i was put on antibiotics monday by my doctor after i was lectured for doing the race. but i have to admit i had a little dose of humble pie. stupid i know. here are some pics of the event.

LOVE the wetsuit. note: i have YET to get a good picture coming out of the water. but nani, you can attest this is the best yet. yes? i did great in the swim (18 minutes) but it was downhill from there.

bike time was about 7-10 min slower than normal. :(

and run was about 4-5 min slower. :(

but i finished. and yes, i look stupid but in my defense i was trying to get my hands above my head to do a champion finish :) (note: time my time is 12 minutes faster than what appears)

all in all, i learned that when i am sick like i was, i should not race (doctor agreed). but i finished. and that is what matters.
st. anthony's tri in late april is next on the list.
