Ironman and Sprint Triathlon

The Ironman is finished! We all 3 finished it in a month. I finished Thursday night about 20 minutes before Stephen, which was my goal. (So now I get to treat myself to a Blizzard.) Time wise, I took a lot longer, but I do longer workouts. He usually goes and works out in the morning almost everyday, but only has about 30 minutes. I go a few times a week and do almost 2 hours (childwatch is for 2 hours). I felt like I lived at the Y, but I was excited to finish. Melynda finished today. I don't know how someone can do that all in one day!!!! Total it was 80 laps of swimming (2.4 miles), 112 miles on the bike, and 26.2 of running.

Then today, we went and did our Sprint Triathlon. It was 8 laps (1/4 mile) of swimming, 6 miles on the bike, and 2 miles of running. Just like the one we did back in August, but indoor, and they don't count transition times. We all beat our previous times by quite a bit. Last August, my bike seat wasn't adjusted right and my bike time was way higher than it should have been. That made it easy to cut time this time.

Here are the times:

Stephen in August Total: 55:49 Swim: 15:11 Bike 20.59 Run 18.57
Stephen today Total 46:04 Swim 10:31 Bike 17.45 Run 17.48

Janet today Total 58:17 Swim 10:28 Bike 23:11 Run 24:38

Melynda August Total 1:24:31 Swim 17:49 Bike 39.27 Run 26.24
Melynda Today Total 1:09:17 Swim 10.23 Bike 28.43 Run 30:11
