I am overcome with emotion after completing my first Tri Sprint today. I had a great time at 1:33+. 1/3 mile swim, 11.5 mile bike, 3 mile run. I cried when I completed the swim and I sobbed as I crossed the finish line. Several times I had to hoop and hollar it was so much fun. By the way- I am a 5'3, 185 pounds and I DID IT!

Thank to BT for the wonderful training program, the great tips on the forums, awesome articles, etc.

Keep Tri'n everyone!

Great race and don't ever forget the feeling of crossing that finish line.  Now you have an even bigger job,  you have to share you story and help the sport grow.  Congrats on your race!

Congratulations!
Sometimes I get too competitive and forget that feeling.
Thank you for reminding me why I do this sport...
Because I love it!
Take care, eat some ice cream and start getting ready for your next one!

Fantastic! Way to go! I am only in my second year doing tri's (completed my fifth overall today) and I still get that feeling when I cross the finish line. What a great feeling of setting a goal and accomplishing it.

Congrats! I've done two now and the feeling is so awesome. It's amazing, but now you are a huge insperation to those who haven't done it yet and to those who never thought they could.
