The Ironman <\/a>is one of the mega races out of there. With 2.4 Miles swimming, 112 miles of biking, and 26.2 miles (same as a full marathon) of running it is definitely a trial of endurance of almost unequal proportions. I am up to that race right?!<\/p>\n

Umm… Not!!! Thank goodness my stake has me covered. Since I am not quite ready for an Ironman they have invented\u00a0 the Tinman race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My first bike race.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Tinman consists of a 150 m swim, a 5 K foot race, and a 10 mile bike race. It isn’t as daunting as an Ironman but it still made me nervous. Not ready for the swim I opted to do just the foot race and the bike race portions. I was very confident in my ability to finish the 5K race. I wasn’t too sure how I would do on the biking portion.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I was kind of nervous registering for my first bike race.<\/p><\/div>\n

Most people drove their bike in, but I don’t have a bike rack for my car so I rode my bike in from my house. Not the best way to start a race, but being the amateur\u00a0I am\u00a0I decided to just go all out and make the best of it. The 5K portion went very well. I finished the 5K race in 23:19, a 7:53 pace. It was the fastest ever 5K for me. Coming out of the 5K however I was a bit winded. My bike is a mountain man bike, I got passed by a lot of other racers on very fancy street bikes. Even so I managed to finish both sections in 1 hr and 3 minutes (I will update later with official times).<\/p>\n

\"Road<\/a>

Road my bike out to the starting line at RCC.<\/p><\/div>\n

Overall, I enjoyed the race. Doing something different is always fun and best of all the race was totally free! Actually the shirt cost me $4, but $4 dollars for a t-shirt is really cheap! I enjoyed being part of this local race and I think next year I will try and do all three events.<\/p>\n
