Subject: Finished first Sprint TriI just completed my first triathlon (sprint) ever, not even one year from my last treatment from breast cancer. To say that I'm elated is an understatment! My finish time was 2:12:14. I came in faster than my goal for each leg: 23:49 for swim; 52:24 for bike; and 39:18 for run. My transitions were way too long, 9:16 for T1 and 7:25 for T2, but hey, I was visiting with friends I had no idea were doing this race! This tri was my way of kicking cancer in the butt! I wasn't even sure I could finish when I started training. But I must have trained well, because except for a few hills on the bike course that I didn't expect, I didn't find it too difficult. Just kept motoring along! I think I'm hooked. |
