Congrats on your first tri. You did great!
(P.S. I think the run course was a little short too. I just don't run _that_ fast.)

Hi!

Thanks for the kind words and support. It was very different than I imagined. Looking forward to the Cranberry test - we will see how that one goes.

I looked at your race report and you too did a great job! Congrats!

Have a good day.
