Subject: My First Tri is coming up - Sept 7th Lake Stevens Olympic
Just posting to share (for what little that's worth). After a lot of back and forth, work issues and life/health issues I have officially signed up for the Lake Stevens Olympic (and the Black Diamond Olympic in Enumclaw on 9/15/13) as my first tri. I am feeling excited but nervous. Looking at previous rankings I will finish bottom of the pack; in fact damn near last But that's ok I just want to finish this year.

I've mostly been a lurker but just wanted to say thanks to beginnertriathlete.com and the forum members for all the incredibly useful information, Q&A's and time. I started this planning to just buy some running shoes and a wetsuit, ended up spending a bit more than that... Joined USAT today, signed up for two tris today, and am about to going run 5k.

Life is good

Lake Stevens is a BuDu event, and they're always really well-run. I've known the people who own/run BuDu (used to bike race with the husband many years ago), and they're good people who really care about their events. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Another year, another excuse in missing the Ironman 70.3 Lake Stevens triathlon.

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

With my new triathlon goal set, I had to find a pool, set a schedule, ramp up the cycling, and keep up the running.

I went into the pool area (as this was a pool swim) and got body marked. That's when it hit me that I was there to race - this was not a clinic.

The first time I ventured into the deep murky green lake and could not see the bottom my muscles tensed and my imagined fears surfaced. What exactly lies beneath?

A description of my experiences during my first triathlon. It was a great experience. I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
