Results


So I achieved my goal of doing an Olympic Triathlon within 6 hours. During the running phase of the day, I had serious knee pain and had to walk most of the 10k. I ended up going up and down most streets in my neighborhood in order to stay close to home, and a recreation center for water, or in case of other issues. It was 30 degrees celsius outside, and I was getting a headache, probably from dehydration and overheating during the running phase as well. Cooler weather should help a lot next time I attempt this. Anyway, here are the results.
