Congrats on your first race ever! Too bad about the swim being canceled.

It seams like you got all the bad stuff out of the way and you should be primed for a really great experience in your next race (Sandy Hook, right?).

Give yourself some time to heal from that bike crash too

Again, Congrats on getting your first race under your belt!
