Subject: First Oly Down---Recovery Time...for now.

So a few weeks ago I joined the board and starting asking questions and figuring out what I needed to do to get where I wanted to go. As of yesterday morning, I completed my first tri, an Olympic, and felt fantastic after!

I took some advice from an All-Army triathlete from my BN and ended up running the fastest over a sustained period than ever before! I've done some half marathons and long runs, but never at my tri pace--which was unbelievable to me considering that I'd just done a mile in the lake and 25 on the bike!

I've definitely got the bug now though. My next purchase is going to be a set of aerobars, and I'm already trying to figure out if I can fit in another race before Airborne School in May.

Thanks everybody for the help along the way! Now off to a half hour soak in the tub...

Awesome. Congrats. Now just beware of the 8-month Oly-to-Couch Hangover. I speak from experience....
