  • Comments: This was my first triathlon!! I heard soo many people bad-mouthing the race afterwards saying they hated the bike. But it's a triathlon. ITS GUNNA BE HARD!! I personally loved the challenge and how my body and mind was able to push harder/faster than I thought humanly possible. Biking 1.5 hrs at LT and then running 6 miles a 9min/mile. Seems remarkable to me and shows me I did the course the fastest I possibly could. I gave it 110% and loved every second of it no matter how bad it hurt, that's all I could ask of myself. The crash was pretty sweet too, got tons of comments about how 'bad ass' I looked all cut up. Too bad it also ripped my brand new $120 tri suit. But I think it was almost worth it! After the race I sat down to eat next to a guy who told me he has done 35 Ironmans (he's 65) and he told me the hills were hard for him, so it made me feel much better about myself. People in triathlon are so nice and the races bring out the best in everyone. What an amazing sport and cannot wait
