  • Comments: First ever triathlon and first post on BT (I guess I put the "B" in BT). This was also first race for DW so she was along for the ride. I did 2 marathons in the past (15 years ago) and started back up doing 5k's this year. DW is an avid swimmer and finally joined a masters team. The team consists of a lot of triathletes so DW got interested in it. I had wanted to do a triathlon back when doing the marathons but it just never happened so when she got interested I thought it would something we could do together. I know how to swim but I have never swam for distance or speed and the learning curve has been steep. I started 3 months ago as the typical "can't swim 25 yards without being gassed" guy. I can swim the distances now but still have breathing issues. I spend a lot of time (too much probably) on BT reading the swimming threads. Overall we both had a great time. My quote when asked how it went was "It almost killed me...when can I do another one?".
