I have been given a directive by my niece, Elizabeth; and that is to make an entry about the triathlon, so here goes. The link for the Annie Oakley's, which is the event in which I participated is here. If you click there, you will also see Kathleen's results. In the meantime, here are my results: Lucio Rita 52= my age, 12:16.5=my 500 meter swim, 4:25.3=my first transition to the bike, 1:11:18.4= my 18 mile bike time, 3:58= my transition time to the walk/run, 2:11:52.9= my total triathlon time. I am not sure why the time I took to do the 5k run/walk is not there, but I know that all you people have calculators or pencil and paper and can calculate that event on your own. These results are better than my first triathlon's results. I finished that one in 2:14:+:+ and it was a shorter route. While I was in the middle of the bike ride, I thought to myself, "Why am I doing this to myself?. When I crossed the finish line, I got my answer.
Congratulations to my fellow familial triathletes: Margaret, Timothy(unilete), Felicia, Kathleen, John, Courtney and Jennifer. Everyone did very well. Daddy would be so proud of us.
I just got back from getting the car rental that is being provided by USAA insurance company while the Avalon is in the shop. It is a Maxima. It is not as nice as my car, but it is very zippy. I am going to call Enterprise tomorrow and see if I can get a car that has not been smoked in.
Posted by Rita at September 19, 2002 07:06 PMWhew! You got a smoker's car? Bleh! I hope they don't hassle you to much when you trade it in.
Congratulations again on completing your 2nd triathlon. I'm looking forward to competing together next year. Love you lots.

You did WONDERFUL in the triathlon and I'm looking forward to seeing the official pictures--put a link to them too when they come out, which should be within the next few days. Congratulations! You are planning on doing the whole Danskin next year, right?
