I raced in the Malibu Triathlon 2008!

My final time was 02:05:46.2!

Here are my split times:

Swim 17:36.8
Transition 1 4:00.1
Bike 1:04:54.6
Transition 2 1:59.9
Run 37:14.8

Overall, I felt great and took about 4 minutes off my mock-tri time. I am still a little overwhelmed by the support from all my sponsors for this great cause. Together, we raised $3800!

Thanks to Jeff for being a great honouree!

Thank you all so much! Your t-shirts are on their way to you very soon!
