I just registered for my first triathlon!  I’m entering the mountain bike course of the Wild Flower Triathlon. It’s a sprint, so is only a 0.25 mile swim, 9 mile mountain bike and 2 mile run, but it’s my first race so I’m already pretty nervous.  I can do each of the pieces on their own, but one after the other may be tricky.  To make things yet more interesting, my knees are in pretty bad shape at the moment.
