Race reports

These aren't all races, but we'll call them race reports anyway. The following are triathlons, duathlons, bike rides, and various fun, active events that I've recapped over the years. I'm looking to do more in the future, because the feedback I've gotten on these has been overwhelmingly positive. So, whether you're here for inspiration or somebody to laugh at and feel better about yourself, I hope you enjoy!
