Great first tri! I was out directing runners on the run course. Seriously, everyone coming through looked so good and so happy!

Shirts are hard to deal with, especially with a little chill in the air. You'll get a good system for you next season. A tri or underarmour shirt will make a big difference!

 Congrats!
