My first 1st in a triathlon!
Back in July (on the 28th in fact) I brought home a first place medal from the Admiral's Cup Triathlon. Overall, I placed 10th; in my age group, I came in first place!
I started training for and competing in triathlon 7 years ago, and it was quite special to "hit that mark" on one Saturday in July. I was surprised, I admit, that I came in first; this has been a tough year for training as we're starting up our new business, and I'm traveling a bit more sporadically than ever before.
Regardless, on that Saturday I had a great race. Not only was the day PERFECT (see the other picture below), the race course and organization was well put-together. This is a race I've done before, though I'd never placed this high in the rankings.
Here is what the sky looked like driving to the race the morning of. It was wonderful!
Way to go, man!

Congratulations, Jason! That is quite an accomplishment. I must admit that your blog has been inspirational for me lately. I was doing quite well on the workout track and then things got busy and I fell off the wagon. Just got a new pair of running shoes for a little additional motivation and plan on getting back on track (literally!) today. Thanks for sharing!!! Cheers...Chris
