Subject: So I finally did my first Triathlon!!

So I finished my first Triathlon on Sunday! I felt pretty prepared for it as I have been training pretty hard. I basically started biking and training for it 10 weeks earlier. My over all place was 139 out of 303, and I was 9 out of 18 in my age group. I posted my splits below. It was very rewarding and I cant wait to do my next one in 3 weeks and eventually start training for an Oly! Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped me through this experience. I definitely couldnot have done it without your advice, expertise, and help. Thanks guys!

 

500 YD swim: 10 min

17.6 Mile Bike: 52 Minutes

5K run: 30 min

Ha, my wife was talking to a woman from church at a tri this weekend.  When my wife mentioned it was my first, she kind of rolled her eyes and said something to the effect of "well, at least I now have someone to hang out with at the races"
