First Triathlon

Saturday will be a big day for me. I'm waking up at 4:30 am on purpose to bike the second leg of a relay triathlon. It's my first competitive race on my new road bike (pictured to the left) and my first, really, my first race ever! It's about a 25 mile ride on the flats of central Illinois. It's no Tour de France, but it's fun. I'll be the only 6'8" guy on a bike. Easy to spot in a crowd.
