I am a TRIATHLETE!  I just did Cedar Beach.  Finished with a time just around 2:20. 

I wanted to post to say thank you for everyones support in the 6 weeks leading up to the race.  Especially last week when I was panicking about the OWS.  It was crazy out there today the waves were insane.  I have never seen the sound so rough...  but I focused on the advice you had all given me and stayed calm remembering to swim my own swim (which at many points was floating on my back.  Total swim time for 3/4 mile was about 42 mintues...  which I will take under the conditions - even though my goal was 35 minutes.

What a fantastic event today.  I look forward to the next one!  Thank you all again so very much.  Without my BT support I would never have gotten to the starting line...  let alone the finish line.

Congrats! 

 Great that you went out and executed based on the conditions you were given.  You kept going no matter what. 

That is what the spirit of being a Triathlete is all about.  Welcome to the group!

So glad I did!  Thanks for busting my chops.  That really pushed me!  I appreciate it.

 

I have already been looking on Active.com for another!

Congratulations!! Yesterday's race was quite the introduction to triathlon, I know many seasoned triathletes who DNF'd because of the swim conditions. You should be proud of yourself for dedicating the time to prepare for it and stepping up to the start line, I hope you enjoyed every minute of yesterday!
