Enghien M Triathlon – 22nd May 2015
My first Triathlon by Guillaume Donetti Here is a little story about my first triathlon ever that I did at Enghien the 22nd of May 2016. I hope this is not completely boring and you guys enjoy it. Triathlon was a challenge I gave myself almost a year ago: to finish an Olympic distance triathlon for my 25th birthday. It was a challenge as I had never really practiced swimming and biking before. I started training as regularly as I could and looked for a race nearby Paris I could register in. After reading a lot of positive reactions on forums about Enghien, I waited for the opening of the registrations and signed in the same day they opened. The day after, it was sold out and I felt kind of lucky. But I did not know much about the race and I did not really pay much attention to the main difficulty of the race: the sharp hill of the biking part! Weeks passed and I felt more and more anxious as I gathered information which did not really reassured me: the water was said to be horrible and the hill pretty difficult to climb (1.4km long with 7% average and a part at almost 13% from what I read), but I did not care, I signed in and I would continue and complete my challenge.
