First race ever

Ummm...44 minutes for six miles....that would be a personal record for may of us who have been doing this a while...congratulations. Good luck at your upcoming Sprint..how is your swimming and cycling?

Thanks,

Having never benchmarked myself i have little to compare anything to... My swimming is moderate, as is my biking, i lack long distance bike rides as i cover about ten miles a day on commute and rarely have the energy to go out for over an hour, something i'm sure i'll feel come April! Thanks for replying,

Michael

Hey congrats!  My first (and still only) official race was a 5k last October and I loved every minute of it.  I remember it like it was yesterday so I know how you feel.  Remember this feeling to help you keep going on those bike rides when you feel like quitting. 

Congratulations - I sense an adict in the making :-)

That's a great run for your first race! Very impressive.

Congrats! When I first read your post I figured you meant 6K, not 6 miles. That's awesome for a first race, wow. What was your pace per mile?

Works out to 7:26 .......

Congratulations Dude!!! Last year I had my first race, a 5K. And like you I became hooked. After that I completed 3 more 5K races before I tackled 4 sprint triathlons; and you want to talk about hooked!!! Now I am really hooked. Some of my friends say that I'm obsessed! I just tell them "What may seem like an obsession to you, is just me being focused!" Congratulations again on your race. A 7.39 pace is pretty awesome, especially over 6 miles.
