  • Comments: This was a very well organized event. It was my first triathlon and I found the atmosphere to be great! Heh - I came across my 'real' RR - an email I sent to my friends and family Dear Friends and Family I wanted to share my weekend adventure with you. This will probably be news, but I did my first triathlon this past weekend, on Sunday July 23. The event consisted of a 1000 yd lake swim, a 12.5 mile bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run (completed in that order). It was a part of the Cornhusker State Games which were conducted between July 14 and July 23 in Lincoln Nebraska. The games consist of all sorts of competitions, everything from fishing to darts, to volleyball, to you name it, they probably have it. The triathlon was an amazing event, I still can't quite believe I did it. The event started at 7:30 am, with the swim. They organize everyone into 4 groups, called waves, there were 376 participants. The waves are set up by age group and gender. The guys get bright orange
