Great day in Wilmington, NC for the Wilmington YMCA Triathlon...after training since mid-March, I was able to complete my first triathlon (race report will follow)!

1500m swim/20k bike/5k run

It was an awesome experience, and I can't wait to do a few next season! Thanks to everyone for their input, support, and for sharing the knowlege you have gained throughout your carreers!

That was AWESOME!

Congrats!  Feels good just to figure things out on the first one, doesn't it?  Now tell me, have you already looked ahead to pick out a bunch for 2010 already? 

It's odd to go through something thinking, "this sucks, this sucks, this sucks" only to cross a finish line and say, "that was awesome!"

It reminds me of football camp.

I don't have a bunch picked out for next season yet...I know that I will do this one again, my brother-in-law and I are thinking about doing one at Lake Norman, NC next season. The others, I'll just look through some of the sites and see what sounds good.

I really felt pretty good throughout...not quite as bad as football camp or Marine Corps boot camp. Didn't really get the "this sucks" feeling. I knew that I was going to suck on the run because it's my weakest part, so I took satisfaction in the bikers I passed, knowing I was sure to see their number go by later, lol.

Very rewarding, though. I didn't have a time in mind, but I was able to beat my brother...and this is his 7th time on this course, and he runs much, much better than I do.
