Subject: Hey everyone!

Just competed in my very first tri and I think I'm hooked. It was a sprint this past saturday and I think I'm going thru some kind of withdrawl. I've been looking everywhere for another one! It was great.
The swim was hard, in a wave of 50 people and I was VERY nervous, swallowed way too much lake water and didn't really swim as hard as I could have - I was just way too nervous!. Bike was great, rolling hills and some nice views. It was great seeing experienced friends with lower numbers than me zooming by on their way in...Run (my biggest challenge) was hilly but alright. Couldn't believe I actually said at the end that it was fun, was a great accomplishment for me - something I NEVER thought I would do!
Well, looking forward to the next one!
See you out there! :-)

Congratulations Liz! What an awesome accomplishment. I am so excited for you. I have my first tri next Sunday, but I can tell you from doing many 5-10k's that I always kinda go into this post race depression because the "big day" is over. I think it probably has something to do with that after effect of adrenaline slow down too. Heck I am hooked simply because I love the cross training. I can work out twice as hard without feeling like it because I am not working the same muscles every day. Again, congrats...

Welcome! Your first tri sounds exactly like my first one last Sunday! Swallowed a bunch of water, rolling hills on the bike, and running is definitely my weak link! So I totally understand! Welcome to the site and good luck with your future races. I'm already signed up for three more!
