I gave myself the challenge to create a flash short film within a week. This is the 1st one I created. I was asked far too often how to tie a tie. So I wanted to create a cartoon showing off how to do it. It was my first take for my voice. So I had a lof of fun setting up the lip sync and animating. After creating this I went on to create 2 more shorts.
My first triathlon.
I wore my tie and shirt in the water which I am sure had me finish 1K around 45:00.
The bike I remember was 45K which was fine until my bike broke (the cranks came off) at around the 25 K mark. I then ran with my bike for 20 K and road it down any hill I could. This then gave me a 30 K run.
Overall time was over 4 hours and I was last.
I finished it thanks to a couple who drove in front of me with a van blasting tunes.
My first duathlon.
Not sure the times, but I am very sure they were not all that fast.
