20 July 2008 - the Pittsburgh Triathlon

The Pittsburgh Triathlon was held today. It was a good time, but somewhat disappointing, as I had been training to do the adventure race for the last couple of months, but couldn't because of a knee injury I got at the company picnic last weekend. Alas. Nonetheless, it was very inspiring to see how many people stuck it out. A lot of the triathletes were just normal people, some with a few extra pounds, some riding mountain bikes instead of $5,000 carbon triathlon bikes... It was nice to see how many were just out there to push themselves and to have some fun. Great day to be on the river downtown.
