Today was the Stanley's Triathlon, named after a guide dog named Stanley. The event was to benefit a guide dog charity. So it was an early start leaving the house at 0600.
The event was a 300 M swim, then a 14 mile bike, then a 2 mile run. I thought I performed well on all three legs particularly the swim and the run. But my cycling is just not as fast as some. My time was 1:20 which I thought was good. But I was still 5 of 5 in the age group.
Several of the others in the group got 1st, 2nd, 3rd place awards. So many of them that I felt like the time when I was at a Boy Scout awards ceremony and it seemed like everyone got something but me.
But I didn't start the day looking for an award. I participate for the company, the fitness and the fun. And I think that I am a good positive influence to everyone else. So that's my true purpose!
