OK, not really, I’m not THE Aukeman, but I finished the first Aukeman Triathlon. It was so much fun!! I think (by virtue of no other UAS faculty participating) that I was the fastest UAS faculty to finish!
Thanks to Tracy and John for making it happen. Thanks to Sherry and Bob for lifeguarding, thanks to Cathy for helping a newby figure out triathlon “zone etiquette” and how to avoid getting run over in the mass swim start, thanks to Carrie, Torsten, and Rob for cheering and supporting, thanks to Nathan for the loaner wet-suit. I had a blast and I’m looking for the next triathlon!

And here I am, preparing (along with about 60 other participants) to get in the Auke Lake for the swim start.

The whole race, Carrie, Torsten, and I would keep singing, “I am Auke man, duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh….” 🙂
yep, that’s me, arms crossed, halo on (ok, just a raindrop on the camera lens..)
Saint Matt :)! Congrats!
So what is “zone etiquette”?
