I got up at 6:15 AM on Sunday for my first ever indoor triathlon.
It was in Lisle at a small workout facility there. The swim was in a (small!!) 20 yard pool; the bike was on a stationary bike (not my own); and the run was on a treadmill. We had 10 minutes to swim, 10 minutes in transition, 30 minutes on the bike, and 20 minutes on the treadmill.
I wasn't quite sure how fast to go and how much effort to put out. The swim was strange in such a short pool: I stopped doing flip-turns because I was exerting so much energy for such a short length. The bike was a little uncomfortable since I was using a stationary bike again; thankfully I still have my mountain bike clips! The treadmill of fine, although it was on a zero incline (downhill).
I finished 11 out of 37 overall. I'm not sure if I should be proud, satisfied, or embarrassed!! in any case I got up early after a few drinks the night before and had a hard workout for about an hour!
Channel 7 News was also there live filming us for the Sunday morning news, which was fun! You can see me participate via this clip!
