La Porte Tri

I took this while in line this morning at a tri in La Porte, Indiana. Part of the ritual of triathlon is having a stranger write your race number on your body.

Here is the lake we swam in, Stone Lake, after the swimming was done.



I came in 7 out of 11 in my age group. I was 2 seconds behind the guy who was 6 out of 11. Actually, toward the end of the run, I passed him, and then he re-passed me.

If I'd poured on an extra burst today,
maybe I could have come in first... against him, anyway.
