Splash'n at the Y

Rumor has it that Mr. Mini-Tri (Mike W) creamed the competition (Mrs. Tri-all sports) at Sunday's Carlson Metrocenter Super Bowl Triathlon.

Mr. and Mrs. Mini-t's had excellent swims, as Mr. Mini found it faster to use his legs and run in the pool instead of his usual swimming form of using the legs as anchors.

The bike was super fast, over eight miles in fifteen minutes! Wow! Mr. Mini was able to suck up his pain and maintain a slight lead in in the indoor run to secure a resounding victory. Complete results are here.

Congratulations also to Patty Swimlikeadolphin P for a ninth overall and 2nd place female finish (1st masters).

Mrs. Tri-all sports is considering a new event, rock climbing, snowshoeing and kayaking and you can't take any of the equipment off during the three events.

  1. I guess the snow shoes will have metal anchors for rock climbing on the front and the life jackets for kayaking will come with a pull cord releasing the parachute to save yourself when you fall?!?! Or do you fall straight into the water, grab onto the kayak as it is probably easier to use the snow shoes as flippers than oars? :-)

  3. Whatever the Big I wants to do I am ready. What's another 3 weeks sleeping in the guest room anyway?

  4. lol, I won't race in that one-afraid of heights! And cold-snowshoeing and kayaking-it has to be freezing! :-) I will film it for you and we can put out a famous documentary to pay for the hospital bills when all is done!
