Can't wipe the smile off my face! I put out a strong effort today in my first ever sprint (300m/10mi/2mi) and grabbed 3rd in my AG (20-29)!!

Sure, it was a short race and a small field of about 135 or so, but it felt AMAZING to go out and throw together a solid race. You can bet I won't stop after this one. I'm getting the race report together and will publish it later tonight.

I just had to get it out there because my wife is tired of hearing about it. I'm done patting myself on the back..I'll get back to training this week.

More than anything, I am just stoked to officially be a "triathlete."

That is fantastic Gran!  I set the bar quite a bit lower than that for my first.  My goals are:
1.  Don't get Dq'd.
2.  Don't have any wardrobe malfunctions
3.  Finish

What is this "podium" you speak of?  haha

Nice! You should be ready to kill it at your next one with that strong debut. I wish I could say I had the same at my first, but it really doesn't matter if you're 1st on the run and 4th on the bike when you're 65th/69 on the swim. 

Great job!
