Triathlon - A Non-Athlete's Perspective
I was a non-athletic, wimpy, asthmatic kid growing up. Now, in my 30's, I'm attempting to push myself to my furthest limits as an age group triathlete.

T-Gator Triathlon #2 - 5/15/11
The T-Gator Triathlon #2 was held in Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, LA on Sunday, May 15th, 2011. This was the 2nd race in the 3 race T-Gator Triathlon series put on by the Lake Charles Triathletes every year. The race was a super-sprint distance triathlon consisting of a 500 meter swim, 13mi. bike and 2mi. run. Coming off a successful first attempt at a complete Half-Ironman distance race a month prior, I went in to this race feeling very confident. My primary goal was just to have some fun and focus on speed.

Iron Star Triathlon (70.3) - 11/7/10
The 8th annual Iron Star Triathlon was held in Montgomery, TX on November 7, 2010. This race is a half-iron (70.3) distance race held in and around the La Torretta Del Lago Resort on Lake Conroe. This was my third (ever) and final race of 2010. After having relative success at the two previous sprint distance and olympic distance races, I was convinced by my coach and by myself that it was time for a real challenge. A 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run seemed challenging enough...and boy, did it prove to be a challenge for me!

Yam City Triathlon - 8/29/10
This is my first race review, and a very special one to me. After all, this was also my very first race! The race was held August 29, 2010 in Opelousas, LA. The race centered around the Louisiana Family Fitness Center. It consisted of a 150 yd. pool swim, 14 mile bike, and 2 mile run, so I guess it would be classified as a super sprint distance race.
