The big day has arrived. Kimberly raced the 500m swim, 15k bike and 5k run in a total time of 1:29:44, placing her 13th out of 19 in her age group. She had a great time and is already planning her training for an Ironman!

Her very unofficial splits have the starting the swim at 8:05:48 and entering the transition at 8:19:44, then starting the bike leg at 8:22:08 and returning at 8:59:05, and starting the run at 9:02:26 and crossing the finish line at 9:35:23.

We went to Carp on Sunday to survey the course and put all three events together for the first time. We met up with Damon from Steve's office who is also doing the triathlon. There are no biking pics because Steve rode also (that's his bike on the back of the Mini). This is how we spent our first anniversary (very romantic!)

Kim got a new bike today, a 2005 Specialized Dolce Vita Multi-Sport. It's sweeeet. At the time of these pictures she's still working on getting her position dialed in and had an appointment for a final fit in a few days. The fitter didn't change much, just increased the stem rise angle, shortened the aerobars some more and raised the seat about 1/8".
