Home-made Triathlon

March 25th, 2006 Summit

Last night I caught the I-need-to-get-out-of-the-house-or-I’m-going-to-go-crazy bug. I called up a few people that i know who like to climb but i couldn’t find anyone who was willing to belay me…uh…I mean, climb with me. So I decided to embark on a spontaneous, home-made triathlon. I started from my apartment and biked three miles to the Quarry Climbing Gym. Once there I warmed up, worked on a V4 in the bouldering room followed by a V5 and then another V4. I then biked the three miles back to my apartment and grabbed my goggles (I meant to bring them with.) After getting those, I biked the 207,990.21 centimeters (I love Google Earth) to the BYU pool and swam a mile (33 laps.) Also, keep in mind that this is the first time I have accomplished such a feat. Once I completed that highlight of my nascent swimming career, I biked the 207,990.21 centimeters (1.29 miles) back to my apartment and I was victorious (placed first overall.)

I don’t know how long it took me to do (I’m not sure if I want to know) but it was my first home-made triathlon. It was a blast. Have you done any sort of creative triathlon? Let me know.
