2006 Brewhouse Triathlon

Angela, Joe, and I participated in the 2006 Duluth Brewhouse Triathlon. We broke up the events with each person doing one event. Angela started with the 0.8 mile swim in 32:46. Joe followed up with the 20.6 mile bike. He mentioned he had problems with his bike during the event, and this slowed his time to 1:24:30. I did the final leg, the 5 mile run. I ran it in 32:43, which was 2nd out of 10 in the mixed relay for the event. Overall we finished 9th out of 10 teams. We finished in 2:29:39.

Two Harbors Kayak Festival

Angela and Doreen came to watch me do this race. Luckily, there were no problems this year. It was a pretty clean race. No nasty weather to deal with. I stayed afloat in the kayak without problems. I sprinted toward the end and edged out some other kayaker by 3 seconds. The route is beautiful and goes around an island at the midway point before circling back. It also was a beautiful day for a ride. I finished in 3:24:12 in the male 20-39 composite, even though the website for this event is completely off base and put me in the female 40-54 plastic category.
