Subject: Finished my first sprint this past weekend
Hello all, I finished my first sprint this past weekend. My goal was to just finish and I did. I was dead last. But, looking back on it it was fun. I have signed up for another sprint in October and have chosen a 12 week training plan. I also chose to do the online coaching. I'm excited. Glad to chime in once in a while.

Congratulations, TRIATHLETE!!!

I think you are firmly seated on the 'crazy bus' now

I have also come in DFL in a tri, and it wasn't my first, or even my tenth. Heh.

Good luck with the new training plan and coaching!

It's about time!!!!... just kidding....Welcome to the wonderful world of Triathlon.. Sit back and relax.. We control the horizontal.. We control the vertical.. Just a few thoughts for you to consider....

"Pain is your friend, your ally.. It will tell you when you are seriously injured. It will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the job and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain? It lets you know you're not DEAD yet!"

"Pain is temporary.  It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will takes its place.  If I quit, however, it lasts forever"... Lance Armstrong

How do you know if you are finished with Life's Journey? If you're still alive, you're not!


And last but not least:

"What is the Ironman?  It's a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, a marathon, and a chance to brag for the rest of your life.."  Mike Adamle, Former NFL running back and 2X IM Kona Finisher

My first is tomorrow and I'm sure I'll place where you did.  How was being last?  My heat is second to the last to go....so the odds are that I'll be bringing up the rear...in more ways than one - ha!  I'll be glad to get one FINISHED so it's not all so foreign to me Surprised

Thanks for the post.  Mine is coming July 31 and will be right there with you on the finishing place.  I have the same "justcomplete, not compete" motto going in and it is great to hear that we can still have fun with it.  Good luck on your next one.

I love your motto (complete not compete).  People keep asking me about my "time."  I just say....slow.....I was in it to finish...and I did!!! Yay!!
