race

I did the biathlon today. Thank you to everyone who donated - they raised more than $28,000.

It was a little harder than I expected. For whatever reason I didn't think the kayaking portion would be difficult. While my previous times paddling have been fairly easy, it has always just been for fun. About five minutes into the race, which was upriver, my arms were sore and I was ready to have someone pull me. Thankfully we only paddled a mile, so it wasn't too bad.

Another thing I wasn't expecting was to get drenched. A little wet sure, but at the start everyone was paddling/splashing around, and my shoes got soaked, which led to a fun run. I think my total time was just over 52 minutes. Not great, but not too embarrassing. I would definitely do it again.
