Wohooooo! Officially a triathloholic now! There's no known cure or rehab from this disease. It is chronic in nature and age will not get you rid of it neither.

Congratulations Barry.  I'm so happy that you got through your first one and I'm really glad you had fun.  That is the ultimate reward.

I promise that the second one is even more fun.  When is that going to be?

Barry, congratulations! Looks like you had fun and that's the most important thing. I can't wait to hear your story from the Chicago triathlon - that's where my affair with this sport started and I'm still very attached to that race.  Hope you have the time of your life there!
