My first tri coming up in two days!

Thanks for the wishes. I'm currently living in Minneapolis. I love how many races there are to choose from up here.

I think for my first triathlon I did alright. I managed to achieve the goals I set for myself, by finishing, not getting last and going under a 9:30 pace for my run. I am proud of my swim, overall I got, 35/397. My bike was definitely the weakest and I need to work on that. It was somewhat discouraging seeing all these people pass me, but it also kept me motivated. I guess I just need to put more time in on my bike. I am also proud of myself for helping another person out during the race. Everyone on these boards talked about the comradrie so I figured a few minutes off my time weren't worth leaving someone else possibly stranded out on the bike course. When I crossed the finish line I felt like I was going to puke which was a good thing, that means that I tried my best. I think I am going to do another one in August to try and get more experience and then set up an A race for late September to see if I can pull together 11 more weeks of training before the season is over. I have a lot to learn but I find myself excited to work out and learn as much as I can.

Way to go!! You did awesome for your first tri and very nice to help out a stranded trier! Good race karma!

Great job and good luck on the possible next two for the rest of the year!
