Well, I did it! I finished competing in my first triathlon. I competed with a team so I only had to do the swimming part. I have been training for the last 6 weeks. When I first started training, I was swimming for around 30 - 32 minutes. Today at the end of the official competition, I swam in 23:04 minutes. This is my first time swimming in a triathlon and was my best time I have posted in swimming this year. Or better than what I know of. I don't even remember swimming this length of a distance although I must have because I earned the swimming merit badge when I was a boy scout at summer camp in Oklahoma.
Well, I am very happy for myself. I want to keep on swimming and training to compete in future swim events at triathlons.
Oh, and the water was filthy! It was the morning after the first storm of the season so all of the junk and filth from Los Angeles had washed into the ocean. Yuck!
But, it was still my first triathlon swim and I am extremely happy for finishing the event.
