GATORMAN TRIATHLON
Swim 1/4mi; Bike 10mi, Run 3.1mi

30 May 1993: I was suprised by the turmoil during the swim; soon discovered that pool training is not equivalent to open water racing; transitioning from bike to run is brutal; wearing cotton anything is a big mistake; and it feels great to finish your first triathlon.

Triathalon: Because just running is too damn easy

I'm not sure whether I disliked the late-night long run, intervals at the track, or cycling sprints. But I do know that working out with Mike Faber helped me a great deal. (No one can tell a long story to make the time pass by more quickly during a 10 mile run than Mike!)
