Matt's Sprint Triathlon

Matt completed his first triathlon on Saturday!!! Woo-hoo for Matt!!:) I keep calling it a triathlon and Matt keeps telling me it isn't a triathlon, it's a SPRINT triathlon, which is a shorter version...sprint schmint...a triathlon's a triathlon!!:) It is a 750 meter swim, an 11 mile bike ride, and a 5k all in one!!:) WOW!!:) The swim was in Lake Hartwell and it was a long way...I had to hold my nose just thinking about it!!:) I am very proud of Matt...he did a GREAT job. He finished #231 out of 337, and these were some big time athletes...these people weren't playin'!!:) His swim time was 19:49, his bike ride was 39:36, and his run was 21:57. His overall time was 1:25:49 (4:29 of that is his transition time)!! The fastest time was 57 minutes...wow!!! I am looking forward to going to more of these with Matt and I know he is looking forward to doing more now that he knows what to expect!!:)
