Last month, dozens of local athletes participated in the Timberman Sprint, a short-distance triathlon around Lake Winnipesaukee that consists of a 0.3-mile swim, 15-mile bike ride and 3-mile run. Phew – we’re tired just thinking about it!
The sprint is part of the national Ironman competition, which is held all over the country. The day after the sprint, even more participated in a half-triathlon, which consisted of a 1.2-mile swim in the lake, 13.1 miles on foot and 56 miles on their bikes.
Our friend Ben Kimball, a triathlete himself, shared these photos of the first day with us.
