Veteran  1097   Elizabethtown, KY |  Subject: Did I set a record?It might be the only triathlon record I'll ever set - but could I hold the record for longest standing member of BT to FINALLY complete a triathlon? Joined: 2004-06-06 Raced: 2008-09-27 That's 1,574 days if you're counting, or just over 4 years. WOOOOO HOOOOOO!! Yay for me!!! In all seriousness, I think it's proof for anyone suffering from training-induced injuries, no place to swim, moving states (multiple times), tough family schedules, tight budgets, and stolen bikes, that a tri is still possible as long as you continue to keep it a goal. And for the record - it was a great race (although it looks like my times weren't captured). I will NOT be setting the record for longest time between 1st and 2nd races. |

Master 1325 Lake Oswego, OR | Subject: RE: Did I set a record? I think you win. However.... In 1985 I had my knee reconstructed and told my ortho that I wanted to do a tri. He smiled. In 1993 I was signed up to do the Santa Barbara Oly tri but came down with a serious sinus infection that had me dowm for 3 weeks. Life moved on. In 2006 on a whim I showed up at a spring sprint tri and completed it. 3 months later I was scheduled to do my first Oly and 2 days before I seriously strained my piriformis muscle. . . . I did it anyway. Took 2 years to recover. There was no way I was going to let that one get away from me. It could be another 13 years until I had a chance to do another one. It wasn't. |
