Black Bear Triathlon Post Race

Post race at the Black Bear Triathlon. I had trained for four months with my first triathlon as a goal. With one week to go I had a bike crash that left me barely able to swim and in pain much of the time. A x-ray two days before the race showed that I merely had a bruised rib so I went ahead and raced. The swim sucked a bit, I had a blast on the bike ride and held it together on the run - all good fun for my first time out.
