Coming in for the run portion
Ginger’s first triathlon occured on a very cold and very windy day. It was so cold and windy, in fact, that the swim portion was aborted when the life boat capsized. The bike and run times went as Ginger expected, although she was slower on the bike than anticipated and faster on the run. It evened out so that her final time was 1 hour and 28 minutes. Not bad for an Athena Newbie. That means she’s a large (over 150 lbs) woman doing a triathlon for the first time. Ginger expects to do much better in the triathlon she will be competing in July. In fact, she starts training for it with a group bike ride on Tuesday.
