Member  54 |  Subject: It's 5am and I have my first tri in 2 hoursI got up at 4:30 am this morning waiting on my first tri. I wanted to be up early enough to make sure I didn't have any bathroom emergencies during the race. I am doing a sprint for my first tri. I have never trained so hard for anything in my life, but for some reason I can't help feeling like I could have done more.  Ever since I was a little kid watching my first Ironman on tv I have wanted to do this. I am so excited!!!Just wanted to share what was on my mind. Now I hope I have everything packed and don't forget anything. |

I was in your position yesterday and could have written an identical post. Awake early keeping mind calm while being excited for my first race. Mine went great, I hope yours does, too! |

Member 54 | Subject: RE: It's 5am and I have my first tri in 2 hours 425m Swim 8:07 11m bike 33:59 2.6m run 24:43 total: 1:09:23 I had a blast. It had a great time. I learned a lot from my mistakes and I am looking forward to my next tri on August 9th. Got out of the pool winded but still moving. T1 was fine, could have done a couple things better. Bike ride was great. Knocked about 10 min off our practice time. T2 was where I ran into problems. I get in to T2 and slip on my shoes (thank God for yankz) and take off running. I get about 100m down the run path and realize I don't have my race belt on. I was so disappointed in myself. My legs took about a solid mile to get back under me. I think I have to adjust my clipons on my bike because my calves were toast. All-in-all I had a great time and I am already looking for more to do. I want to do an olympic next. Some lessons learned:
