This was our team yesterday doing the Kampeska Mini Triathlon. Team mates Sarah, and Paula Nurnburg. That is how we got our team name: “Burg”er Meister Meister “Bergers”, as there were 2 Reiffenbergers. It was a great time. We all got to participate, and this was the first time for us as a team. Usually we do the whole thing ourselves, but I have to not push it that much yet. We even got second place overall for teams competing!

We were a little worried at first, as the sun was out, and it was going to be hot! Paula was going to swim the 1/4 mile, Sarah would ride the bike 14 miles, and I was running the 5k.

The “Burg”er Meister was coming out of the water, and heading into the transition zone to pass off the chip timer to Sarah, the first of the Meister “Bergers”.

Then Sarah took off on her bike!

Then, I had to wait for her to ride around the lake, planning on anywhere from 45-50 minutes.

Then she came across, and it was time for the exchange between the two Meister “Bergers”! We had this down man! Then, I took off!


I actually felt pretty good on the 5k run, and it was my fastest time yet since everything has gone on for me in March. Finished in 24:30…over 4 minutes faster than the Freedom run 10 days ago! The clouds had moved in, and kept the sun away, which helped out with the heat factor immensely. It was still hot, but would have been much worse if the sun stayed out. I was smiling for the camera and giving the thumbs up coming in towards the finish!


Of course, Sarah had to come out the last 1/4 mile to run in with me, and make sure I was doing ok. I won’t be able to hide anything from her. It did feel good to have a good run again. Hopefully this keeps improving. I know for sure I will at least keep making forward progress as long as Sarah is beside me. We had a great race! And thanks Paula for helping to make up the rest of the team! The “Burg”er Meister Meister “Bergers” were a force to be reckoned with! Keep moving everybody!
