Completed my first tri yesterday- the San Bernardino Rotary Club Tinman sprint at Cal State San Bernardino. The legs are run in reverse order (run-bike-swim) which was probably the best way to do it, given the 90+ degree heat. It kicked my butt, but I think I'm officially hooked. Check out my race report!

Oh, and never again will I refer to a sprint as "just" a sprint. Nor will I permit anyone else to.

Love it.  They're fun aren't they?  In that pain is blissful kind of way.

Congrats!

Contgratulations... sounds like fun jumping in the water after getting all hot and sticky!

Recover well

Thanks! Having the swim leg last (and in a pool, and after a nasty-hot bike/run) is a good incentive to finish fast. Think of all the sweaty feet that have been kicking the water you're swimming in!

Congratulations. Did you get a cool T-shirt with the wizard of oz characters that shows them talking to the tin man saying "are you sure he's not made of iron?"
