Subject: RE: First Triathlon... I little worried about finishing last I finished last in my first Oly distance (really a 1/4 IM so same bike/run w/shorter swim). Man it was tough for me to finish...to date hardest thing I've done. I was last out of the water, didn't see a soul on the bike, and was last the whole run.
It was super motivation to train smart on the off season and improve. The next year I was an hour faster, this year 22 minutes faster. Starting out slow has advantages in that you make huge progress. From your times I very much doubt you'll be last. |
