Subject: RE: I think I finished DEAD last! Congrats on finishing what had to be a very tough race.
I had similar feelings this weekend. I ran my first Olympic tri. I paced it just they way I wanted to, was satisfied with my times (well maybe except for the bike ), and based on where I am in my triathlon journey, I did about as well as I could expect. But I ended up very close to last. That is disheartening, but I just have to realize that there are a lot of good racers out there. And I am also greatly buoyed when I think that I did this race a whole lot faster than I could have a year ago.
