Subject: My first tri. Holy Crap I came in second!

I ran my 1st Sprint triathlon this weekend, the Mack Cycle Key Biscayne trilogy. I signed up for the Clydesdale 225 and above, (when I first started training in June I was 249 and on race day I was 227lbs) I felt great race morning and basically did everything this website has told me to do! I got there early, I got set up at my transition area, I swam a little and warmed up and what do you know I came in 2nd in my category!  I loved every minute of it! I can't wait for the next one, I'll have to move down to the 200 Clydesdales because I plan on losing more weight but man what a great way to confim the work I've put in over the last couple of months.

Better stop losing weight then, so you stay in the Clydes! 

Congrats on your finish.  I had a similar moment of discovery of my inner athlete a few years ago on my first kayak race, where I entered on a lark, did no real training, and until I grounded in the shallows in the last 1/4 mile, was actually in second or third place.  It's a great feeling, isn't it?
