I'm at a loss for words. My first Tri was Saturday (check out my report), and it was seriously a (Small) step down from a religious experience. I don't think I've ever had so much fun in less than an hour. I absolutely can't wait for something longer.

D@mn addictive personality... I'm hooked!

Thanks everybody on here... I've learned more from you guys than I could have ever imagined.

Here are some words to help you out:

"I'm doing this again (and again)!"

(to your buddy):  "You gotta do this with me!"

Welcome to the weirdness - from here on out, everyone you meet who isn't a triathlete legitimately thinks you're crazy (but usually in a good way).  Congrats!!

I remember you being a bit worried about your first tri so I'm so thrilled for you that it was such a wonderful experience.  Off to read your race report.

I had a similar experience. I was talked into doing one in June, and I just finished my second one. I'm signed up for two more, this sport is awesome.

Caution, you're bank account will start to hate you, while your body will start to love you!

Keep at it!

jimmyb - 2009-07-13 10:39 AM Hi my name is Jim, "I am an addict".  This is the first step!

The problem with a "12 step" program for this, is that by step 6 you think it is a training day and you are out the door for some road work.
