• Comments: This was my first Tri ever and the experience was awesome. I know that I have a long way to go but whenever I need some extra motivation I think about how I felt when I finished the race and it keeps me going. The race was perfect for my current ability. My goal for 2012 is to run an Olympic distance Tri and this was the first step. When I started training on the 2nd of Janurary I weighed 330lbs. The day before this event I weighed 316lbs, that progress is in and of itself enough to keep doing this.

• Comments: Great start to the season. Nice to give your gear a small tryout. Realized my Zoot's aren't that much faster than regular shoes w/ speed laces, but still no socks so probably better overall. Definitely hard to push yourself as you have no idea where people are at relative to you. Not like you could see someone passing you on the bike because they could have started before you. They could have had volunteers announcing times and distances - "We gone at 9 miles at 18 min." I definitely should have paced out something on the bike before hand as I had no clue what I could do on the bike, having never looked at mileage at spin clas.
