Panorama Classic Triathlon

This weekend, James and I raced our first triathlon of the season: the Panorama Classic Triathlon. This local, sprint distance race has a special place in my heart because it was my first ever triathlon. Also, because it is the goal race for all the first-timers in our triathlon club, it is always full of our friends who we get to see out on the course.

James and I were both really looking forward to doing this race again this year and comparing our performances from last year to see how far we've come. However, the race organizers dramatically changed the course this year, which makes it very hard to compare. The race course distances this year were a 500m pool swim, a 32 km bike, and an 8 km run. In any case, it was a beautiful day for a race (unlike last year!) and we both had a great time. Here are some stats:
