HOTS Triathlon

OK, so it's been a couple weeks since I last posted and that last one didn't make a whole lot of sense. Hopefully this one will be a little more coherent.

In the past couple weeks, quite a lot has happened. I've been to a place on a lake in Ontario, Canada; my brother and I drove there from Washington (the state). On the way there we stopped in Cleveland, OH (AH! FIFO's!) and Erie, PA to see some people we know. The place on the lake and the lake itself were just as great as I remember them. I took my bike and my uncle Bill and I rode, ran, and swam a whole lot. It was awesome! Between all that, gorging myself with food, jumping off cliffs, and wakeboarding, I didn't have time to do a serious update. It went so fast that I decided I'm going to try to stay there for a month next summer.
On the way back to Washington, my brother and I stopped in a few places in western PA, Ohio again, Michigan to see my little sister, Minnesota to drop off my brother, and I was going to stop at my parents' place in Wyoming, but time ran short.

Since I've been back, I've been pretty busy: I completed my first triathlon this weekend (.5mi swim/14.6mi ride/3.6mi run) and I'm going to start work (BLEH!) tomorrow and I've still got that Ride for MS (click the link, have a heart, donate money to MS. I need to raise $250 to participate.). I don't forsee myself being any less busy in the near future, what with school starting and all, so I'll be making fewer posts or they'll be shorter or both or neither. Who knows?

The real reason for this post was to mention that I finished my first triathlon this weekend, which I already did. However, I thought that this would add some credibility and let the people who care know how I did.

Hey, you didn't mention that you also wrecked your car on that trip - and your bike was on top of the car and also wrecked. Did you buy a new bike right away for the triathalon or what?

Oh yea, I did kinda leave a bit out. I borrowed a friend's bike for the triathlon.

I want you to say more about your uncle bill cause i heard he's really cool and handsome and shit.
I also want to know if you got your splits, how the transitions were, and DID you like your shirt, even if you don't like clothes?
