First Triathalon Finished

Congratulations. The point is you finished and you should be proud of yourself for making that first step

Congratulations -- now you have a base line. You just did your personal best! Be proud.

A 1 mile swim!!!! That's a long one..............

And now you will become hooked.....

congratulations good job..

woohoo WTG!!!!

you finished and that is fantastic!!!

That is a great time for those distances, especially for your first tri ever!! I think the first mile swim I ever completed to me close to 70-80 minutes. Keep up the great work and use this as a benchmark. How was your transitions? Did they go smoothly? My first race I spent over 5 minutes in the transition area. What was the best thing that you learned from the race?

Congrats! How exciting. Sounds like you did great with a mile swim.

Way to go!!

Good for you !!!!!Do you mind 20 questions??Like- have you done any of the events competitively before ?Run? Swim? Bike? What kind of bike did you use ? And it looks like you are from Conneticut? Was this race in Conn...swim in a pool?Tell us more !!!!!Thanks!!! newbie isis

Great job! That's a pretty big swim. How was the weather for your tri? Frigid open water back east?... Brrrrrr!!

Way to go! Great job. What a great jumping off point. That sounds like a huge swim as compared to the bike and run.

Gooooood Job! Keep up the good work!

Great job! Where was the triathlon? Hope it wasn't outside in CT.

Hi,
I've run races since 1995. Finished my second marathon this past Fall. I had been injured(knee) prior to my first marathon so I took to the pool. Now swimming is part of my routine. This first tri was all indoors, and there was no timing in between events, so I thought that was a good trial. I plan to do sprint tri's in the Summer which will be 1/2 mile swim in open water, 10 mile bike and 5K run. My only problem is that I own a mountain bike which will not be good for road races. Do you have any suggestions for a first tri bike.
Thanks for your input.
