First tri today!! What a feeling!

Hi all.  I am super excited because today I finished my first triathlon.  It was a mini sprint - 300 yard pool swim, 10 mile bike and a 2.4 mile run. 

I'm currently training with Team In Training and I am doing the Wilmington YMCA sprint in September so a few of my TNT tri-mates and I used this triathlon for experience and practice and I'll tell you, it is such a feeling of accomplishment to cross that finish line!  I've only been training for 8 weeks so I was really pleased with my time.  I finished at 1:15:07.  Out of 46 women I was #23 and #2 in the Athena division (out of 4).  I see with triathlons are addictive!!

I definitely gained some essential experience and now have a better feel for what I need to work on.  I've definitely learned alot from you all and this site so I am very thankful for that. 

Now, 5 more weeks of training for Wilmington!! Wish me luck.
