The Mock Triathlon!

Oh, what fun! On Saturday, we met as a team at Vancouver Lake Park to participate in the bike portion of a mock triathlon put on by the Portland Tri Club. It was awesome to watch other Team in Training triathletes gear up in their TNT wetsuits and a whole gaggle of them jump into the lake on a chilly morning! They are normal folks like the rest of us and it's great to know that they were right where we are in our training only four months ago. In a few weeks WE will be swimming in that same lake! The bike ride was a lovely 13 miles and the weather was perfect. A little chilly, but not too bad. We learned about triathlon rules and regulations before we set out on our ride. It was interesting to find out how many specific rules are involved in triathlon.
