Another first time tri-er... (Miami U Tri)

Finished my first sprint at Miami U this weekend (400m,20k,5k) and managed 120th of 400. (swim 9:56-214th, bike 38:56-39th, run 26:27-222nd)....you see where my background is....obviously i am hooked and now i have to get some swimming and running speed...i feel confident that the run will improve soon...but the swim is going to be more of a challenge...maybe some coaching is in my future...

The race was really fun and well put-on....hpf did a great job and there were tons of volunteers. It was fun to go back to Miami as Alumni too....amazing how things change in 4 years.

Anyway, the winner was somehow doing 30second transitions....while I was doing 2min transitions....im going to have to search out some threads around here to figure out how to shave a 1:30 each time...that seems like free time that im giving up!!

Thanks for everyones encouragement around here....not necessarily personally, but in general this board is a huge motivator!

the next one on the calendar is in June, so ive got about a month to get ready to break those benchmark times.
