[Another] Triathlon

I just finished my second triathlon! Yay! This one was actually a triathlon this time. It didn't rain (yay!) but my heat started at 1:15 in the afternoon and it wasn't exactly cool over here today. It wasn't exactly fun, but I wouldn't say that I had a bad time. I Think that it was the 6 miles on the bike course that killed me a bit more than last time. I had to do 20 laps around a parking lot to complete the bike portion of the triathlon, and it got hard to do after about 15 laps because my legs started getting tired and there was a head-wind on the last straight. That same wind helped though when I would come out of the front straight and into straight 2 because it would become a tail-wind. The run was the hard part for me because I had all this water sloshing around in my stomach and the swim and bike had taken a lot out out of me. It felt like it took me a long time (probably because of the 20 laps of the parking lot) but I finished with a time of 38 minutes 45 seconds. When I looked at my cyclometer after the race, it said that it took me about 22 minutes to complete the bike portion and that I was averaging about 15 miles an hour.

When I crossed the finish line it felt like my insides were liquid and I really wanted to eat and drink something but at the same time I didn't. It felt kind of like when you eat too much except that I wasn't full at all. I don't really know how to describe it. I just know that I need to get better at judging how much liquid to drink.
