Yeah Me!  Did the Chicago OLY yesterday.  My first!  Goal was under 3hrs, and after swimming way off course, stopping on the bike to check on a wipe out, and then cramping up clipping back into my clipless pedals, I came around the last turn at 2:59:35.  I hit my highest gear and sprinted in to finish at 2:59:55.  This sport rocks.

Very cool!  I started with a "just finish" mentality but then quickly upped my goal to finish in 3hrs.  Let's just say that the gain rate was much faster when I started training so I think I'll be happy with 3:30 my first time out.  haha 

Congrats!
