Subject: First Triathlon I am stoked
Just wanted to share my delight of completin my first sprint tri.
Weather was poor...wet 20mph winds with 30mph gusts, 500m pool swim 10m12s, 20km bike 41:59. (Includes T1), 5km Run 23:09 (includes T2), finished in 1h15mins and ended up 18th in AG.
I have trained hard in the past 2 months and could only dream about at sub 1h20min race.
I might of actually found something I'm not bad at, absolutely buzzing and makes me want to knuckle down the training for next tri in 8 weeks.
Hope this inspires the rest of the first timers.

:) That's awesome!  Those are really crappy conditions for a first tri.  Very solid times, especially for a first go.

So what will you focus on for the next 8 weeks?

Switch: the next tri is 750m swim so need to build up to that which tbh I could probably swim now but want to maintain my pace for the entire swim.
My biking ain't far away but will def try and build up more strength in the legs.
And the run, well my run leg time without T2 was 22:00 for the 5 km which I could probably shed 30 secs off if I train hard.
Just need to keep a steady build going with the training I think.

Cheers
