Did my first tri this weekend, picked up some hardware

Did my first sprint tri this weekend after having been exhausted for days beforehand.  It was hard.  Harder than I expected even though I felt prepared.  But I did manage to walk away with a 2nd place medal for my AG.   That was cool.  I met fellow BTer KarmannGhia there and it was fun to have someone you sort of "knew" to commiserate with and cheer for.  I didn't see his bike crash but I did see him later and he handled it well.

I posted a race report minus times and pictures.  I guess they'll post our times online?  The photographer should send out a notice when her pics are up.  I didn't wear my Garmin during the race to get splits because I'm still learning how to use it.

I definitely want to do another one.  It won't be in the immediate future most likely because I have some packed weekends coming up and no time to seriously train but I am going to work on my biking and running in the meantime.  I think a future event will probably be either a regular length sprint or an Oly.  I would like a longer race to allow me to reach good pacing.  Thanks for everyone's advice!
