Subject: Goal Achieved

I finished my first Olympic Triathlon today, and was shooting for a time of 3 hours (I finished my sprint last year in 1:37). After beating my PR in the swim by 13 minutes, maintaining an average pace (for me) on the bike, and coasting for the run, I came in with a time of 2:59:25! The best part is that I know I can go faster next time. I just didn't want to burn myself out too early, since I wasn't really sure what to expect.

Oh, and I wasn't last!

ummm... except for in my age group

Congratulations!

Oh, and nobody cares who's last, well, except for the person second to last. Just go out and have fun!
