Don't MOCK the op..... Just say

"Good Job!"

Congrats!

Thanks everyone.  I totally missed out on the secret handshake or if they did show me I had way to many endorphins running through my blood stream to be able to remember it.  I will post some pictures though when I get copies of them.

I do have a question. I tend to be a type A personality competitive person and looking through the race results for my next tri that is coming up has me rethinking my thoughts of running the Olympic distance. With the speeds that I am capable of right now I think I could compete and possibly finish top 3 in my age group for a sprint distance. What I was planning on doing was the Olympic distance though and looking at the results it seems that the top finshers for the olympic were all running a biking at a faster pace then what the sprint winners were and they are of course going twice the distance. So should I just stick with the sprint distance for a while and be able to be somewhat competitive even though I have been putting in the miles and training for an Olympic or is the only way that I am going to get faster at the longer distance by doing the distance?

My girlfriend and I before we started our first tri.

You guys are so cute! CONGRATULATIONS, TRIATHLETE! never mind 'mock' ... you can time yourself ... I've done tris with less official setups than what you have in the background!
