Huntsville Sprint Triathlon 2014

This is our first Triathlon together, and Max's first. It is a 400m swim, then 7 mile bike ride, and a 5k run. K's morning starts with a wardrobe malfunction ... well, it's 5:30, so Kerry has a good excuse!

Kerry as usual swims fast (8':40"), and Max has to pound very hard on the pedals to try and catch up. We meet at the exchange between bike and run, and we run together got the first of the two loops around the lake.

 

Best part is to rest under the sun after the race is over, and look at the race stats. We come up at 1h:11' (K) and 1h:06' (M) for the entire triathlon.

July 26, 6:30 AM . This is the Paint the Streets 5k, first one we do together. Rendez-vous in front of Panera Bread at Bridge Street, we stretch and we both wear a muscle tank-top and red shorts. This is the first coordinated outfit, although by accident. Nice  anthem singer, really gets us going. First mile is in 11 min, same for the second, we finish at 32 minutes for the 5k. Nice and flat course around Research Park, weather is cool (mid 70's). We have a few slices of pizza after the race.
