9/8/11 Mantivities Triathlon

    
 Sooo...This summer was pretty gnarly. I did two triathlons! Well, sprint triathlons. There may be a reader wondering, "What's a triathlon Ross?" It's a race of fat torching, teeth grinding, heart pounding, and thigh shaping that will leave you in a pool of your own sweat and blood cryin' out for mommy. Next year the goal is to kick it up a notch to Olympic distance! That should put some hair on my chest or kill me!  Your probably thinking, "Ross! You're so ripped that you probably got first in both those triathlons!" Somehow... no... I'm just as confused as you are.
            It turns out that I am terrible at biking.

Well, one step above this dude. Despite being slowed down by my training wheels I didn't do too bad. I actually placed in my age group. 50 feet before the finish line I almost passed someone for a epic finish, but my stomach turned upside down and I dry heaved so loud all the spectators turned their heads expecting me to blow chunks everywhere. Luckily I held it in but didn't get the photo finish win.
