Okay, so doing the Big Climb (racing up the stairs at the Columbia Center) my time was 18:00. I calculated that at 3:30 for 12 flights at the Courthouse, my time at the Big Climb was better. Of course, it should be, as I wasn't in high heels carrying a briefcase.
Later this afternoon, I completed my first Triathlon. It was quite a feat. After running 7.6 miles yesterday and the Big Climb this morning, I could have slept the rest of the afternoon. Instead, I trudged down to Evans Pool and began my first Tri experience. I was (purposefully) in the last wave. We swam 15 minutes, biked 30 (I did 5.25 miles) and then ran 2.9 miles on the inside track of Green Lake. I started the run and about 1/2 block in I was ready to just quit. But I didn't.
Back in 2000 and before, I used to take the 3 or 4 bus from 3rd Avenue to the jail at 5th Avenue. To go from taking a bus for a two block ride to "running" up 69 flights followed by a tri? Priceless!
OMG, do I feel good tonight. Sore, but good!!!
