DNF?

I realize I didn't update my blog to let you guys know I'm going to do my second sprint this coming Saturday.

750m Swim (hopefully!)
30km Bike
7km Run

For those of you who know me, you already know that I'm doing it in relay with a teammate, because I can't do the running part. I do the swimming and biking, he runs.

I think I might DNF on my next race this coming Saturday. Unfortunately my partner fell and hurt his back last weekend...The good thing is there's nothing broken, but he has had back problem in the past and this made it just worse. He's not sure if he'll be able to run.

I was not too disappointed. Of course I wanted to do it and finish, but accidents happen, and his back is much more important than a little race. I really hope he gets better soon! He told me he would see how he feels later this week, but so far it doesn't look good.

I can't get a refund, so I'll take it as a good practice and another feel of the triathlon vibe. Just please, please, pretty please, I want my swim this time! Cause if it's turned into a DU, than it's all for nothing, and a $100 down the drain is also pretty annoying...

I'm ok with a DNF, but at least, let me do what I can do!!!

I hope it works out for you. :) I think it's cool that you are going to do it even if you don't have a runner. You might ask when you get there if anyone wants to run for you. One time I volunteered at check in for a race and there was a team looking for a runner so I joined them. We even got a medal!
