Triathletes Hate Swimmers!

I have to say I was more amused by the comment then anything. Tri in triathlon means three. So if you want to do a good in a triathlon you have to become good in three sports. I have never really had a bad experience in a triathlon and most people are impressed with a good swimmer. This triathlon had the swim in the pool and four swimmers swam in the same lane. I ended up lapping the other three two times. I am a terrible bike rider. I do know that one of them past me on the bike and the other caught up to me right at the end of the bike. I really do it for the fun and the challenge and not the compition. There is hope for those non bike riders. This is my third year and I feel I am getting better on that bike. I am starting to actually past some other bikers. Although I still have more passing me up. If I can just get it to go up those hills. I can say I did this triathlon 19 minutes faster then I did last year.
