“I’m chillin’,” says L Dahline as she rides a stationary bicycle at the McGaw YMCA Indoor Triathlon. Participants took part in 20-minute bike ride (on the stationary bikes), 15-minute run (on a treadmill) and 10-minute swim in the indoor pool. Their distance was recorded. Dahline, who is coming back from a back injury, said she signed up “Just to prove to myself I can.” More than 60 people took part in the event, a first at the facility, 1000 Grove St. Biking behind Dahline are Tom Mulhern (left) and David Hillsamer. “This provides a recreational outlet for folks so they can have a goal through the winter,” said Kim Zimmermann, who organized the triathlon.
