That's right folks, Todd is back to putting all our fitness efforts to shame by participating in the first sprint triathlon of the season! Today he raced in the New England Season Opener in Hopkinton State Park, MA. The weather was clear and sunny but CHILLY! Todd said during the swim the water was so cold it took his breath away. As usual he did amazing finishing the 1/4 swim, 11 mile bike and 3 mile run in just under 1 hour and 16 minutes coming in at 78 out of 300. He finished the 3 mile run in 19 minutes... wow! GO TODDI!
I really enjoy going to these races. My favorite part (beside watching my hubs) is that each athlete has their age marked behind their right leg, so its fun to guess how old everyone is. Let me just tell you, exercise is seriously the fountain of youth. There were 60 year olds that could pass as 40 or younger...its crazy! Now, I am pretty proud of my own 3+ days a week at the gym, however it is easy to be hard on yourself when you are surrounded by 300 samples of physical health. It's even worse that during their race you are usually just hanging out sipping on a diet coke ::hangs head in shame::
Personally, doing 3 different sports back to back is just plain nutty (sorry honey)...and besides, spectating and motivating is an integral part of these races right?...so really in my mind, why should I feel bad? :)
brrrr...cold water
brrrr...cold water
Running out of the water, Todd is the closest to the shore
Coming towards the finish line!
