Subject: Just finished my first tri yesterday Hi, my name is Dave. Was talked into a sprint and completed it yesterday. All went ok considering I knew nothing about this sport. My run was 600 yards, bike 18mi, run 5k. It started at 7:00am!!! That in itself is nuts, who can take care of business that early in the morning without working crazy hours. I can say I thought the whole experience would be lame because my tri friend talks about all this training stuff, and well sorry, but I think that itself is kinda lame, Maybe because I don't associate training with fun. My background is not in sports, sucked at sports all through my youth (im' 32 ) and found music to be my outlet and talent.....ie.came pretty easy. As an adult though I picked up racquetball 2 years ago and love it. No tedious moments just straight fun. Anyway I find myself today thinking what happened yesterday might have been fun and I'm thinking I could do another, this time without being hounded, bribed and harrassed!!! Look I'm here at a tri site!!! |
