I really am not the type to gloat but I trained for 5 months for this race. I couldn't swim 25 yards, never ran more than 2 miles in my life, didn't even own a bike! I signed up for an oly as my first tri and worked my butt off!

My tri was fantastic. I think I did pretty well for my first one, check out my race report. I finished it in 2:48. I was hoping for 3 hours but something came out in me and I just went for it. Felt great! Out of 54 people in my age group (25-29) I came in 30th. I'm very happy with that.

Anyway, I'm down tooting my horn. Thanks to all of you and your advice and comments. I have learned and plan on learning a lot more from everyone. I am hooked!

Great.  The 1st one is always memorable.

You always remember your first...


I did my first last year and I had an endorphine high for a week. Congrats on a great accomplishment.
