Comments: Made it through my first triathlon
I started getting tri-curious this summer. I’ve been running for years and started swimming laps this winter so it just seemed natural to throw in a bit of biking and go for it. I dusted off the old mountain bike from college and pretty quickly clued in that money would have to be spent on a road bike. Then money on a tri-suit and bike accessories so this was starting to get costly.
The plan was to train all winter and enter my first sprint tri in May. Then I went on a couple of group rides, got full of myself, and about two weeks ago I let my husband talk me into entering the one held yesterday. We had talked about going out there to be schmucks in the crowd so I could see how it all worked. I think my husband figured if we were going out there anyway I might as well enter the thing and see how it works from the inside instead of outside looking in. It makes sense in a weird twisted not really ready for this and doing it anyway sort of way.
So
