Subject: Finished first Sprint Tri

I just completed my first triathlon (sprint) ever, not even one year from my last treatment from breast cancer. To say that I'm elated is an understatment! My finish time was 2:12:14. I came in faster than my goal for each leg: 23:49 for swim; 52:24 for bike; and 39:18 for run. My transitions were way too long, 9:16 for T1 and 7:25 for T2, but hey, I was visiting with friends I had no idea were doing this race! This tri was my way of kicking cancer in the butt! I wasn't even sure I could finish when I started training. But I must have trained well, because except for a few hills on the bike course that I didn't expect, I didn't find it too difficult. Just kept motoring along! I think I'm hooked.

Way to go!  I did the same race, assuming you're referring to the Danskin.  It was my first Sprint Tri too, and it was GREAT!  You are an inspiration!  BTW, you beat meWink
