Comments: Overall this was a great experience and I really couldn't be happier. Four months ago I hadn't exercised in close to a year, and was probably about 20 pounds overweight. I started getting back into running and dieted well, and after a couple 5km and a 10km race I decided to do a triathlon. I had always been enamored with the idea of the sport, but never knew there were actually shorter distances than Ironman...I thought that was the whole sport out of sheer ignorance. When I heard of the sprint distance I knew I had to try. I grew up with a pool and could swim with my head above water, and was in the Marines so certainly comfortable staying alive in the water. But I had never tried to swim "correctly." When I you tubed freestyle tips and went to the pool, I couldn't do one length with proper breathing! I also didn't own a bike when I registered, and hadn't been on one in about 20 years. So I am very happy that I not only enjoyed the race but enjoy the process of training as well.
