Review of the Tempe, She-Rox Triathlon, May 10, 2008
Swim - 4 Stars
Reachel and her faithful training partner Sarah trained for and initiated the triathlon together. Calling the first event, a 400 yard open water swim in Tempe Town Lake, chaos would have been a kind euphemism. (The first-time triathletes wryly joked that Sarah may have unknowingly swallowed a dead pigeon. Reachel by contrast maintained her vegetarian diet by consuming only sea moss.) As the pullers extracted Reachel from the 72 degree water, her water-logged legs were grateful to once again press against dry land.
Biking: 2 stars |
Running: 5 stars Rejoicing to have finished the biking portion, Reachel transitioned joyfully into running. To keep her motivation, she paced alongside a 57 year-old women with a 6 pak any American Gladiator would envy. |
