Hey guys,

Yesterday was my first tri ever, and it was amazing. It was an olympic distance and it was hard, but really fun.

My goals for the race were to a. finish the race within the time limit (4 hour cut off), b. have fun and not hurt myself during the race and c. be able to walk the next day.

I accomplished all of my goals! My knees and my left shoulder are a little bit sore today, but walking is no problem and biking to the park to meet my boyfriend for lunch didn't hurt at all. I am super excited. 4 months of training paid off and yesterday was fantastic.

If you'd like to read details and see some pictures check out my race report here.

Thanks to everyone on this site for all your help and support. I can't wait to do my next tri!

Thanks, guys! It was a lot of fun, despite being hard. But I guess that's the point, right? Good luck to those of you who haven't done one yet! You'll do great when you get there. It's all about the training.
