Ok,

So it was for my age group and there was only 3 in my group and I got 2nd. But hey I got a medal! The swim was HORRIBLE! Can't wait till next year. I'm a triathlete finally!

Awesome job! At my first tri last year I was fourth in my AG (out of six). Just leave out the part that there were only three in your AG. After all, you came in second! Rock on!

Sweet - congrats. You've got no control over how many others your age group sign up. You earned the medal. Great to hear you have plans to defend your position next year!

Hey Man, the only way I'm getting on the podium is if they have a Short chubby guy event! Maybe if they add balding into it, I'll be there, also!

Congrats!

There were only 3 in your AG because they heard you were coming and you scared them all away. Good job and congratulations, triathlete!

I felt bad for this 2nd place AG finisher in my recent tri. She collected her award (35-39 I think). She was ecstatic. Then the 1st place was a guy. There was an obvious mix-up and she walked away as the fastest woman with a second place medal.

If you want to see a beautiful part of Idaho come out to where I live (Sun Valley). It's amazing. CdA is also a very pretty place. North Idaho is amazing. There are some other great places like around here (Stanley, and Redfish Lake are breath-taking).
