I finished my first Olympic Triathlon today, and was shooting for a time of 3 hours (I finished my sprint last year in 1:37).  After beating my PR in the swim by 13 minutes, maintaining an average pace (for me) on the bike, and coasting for the run, I came in with a time of 2:59:25!  The best part is that I know I can go faster next time.  I just didn't want to burn myself out too early, since I wasn't really sure what to expect.

Oh, and I wasn't last!

ummm... except for in my age group

Oh, and nobody cares who's last, well, except for the person second to last.  Just go out and have fun!

Congrats!  That's some fast field if a sub-3 finisher was 48 out of 52 O/A!

Thanks!  Yeah, it was definitely a fast field.  1st place was 2:01:10, and most people were between 2:20-2:40.
