Subject: Late starter! Decided a few weeks ago I wanted to start tris. Bought a bike and entered a HIM (how hard could it be right?! )
well I just finished in 6:24. First triathlon ever!!! So with zero preparation or fitness! I broke my wrist too and cast only came off last week!
Previous bike experience, a 6k ride down to the shops...
Previous distance running 10k about 2 months ago
It was tough
Swim okay 40m (wrist a bit achy )
Bike a total nightmare 3:35
Run was always going to be tough 2:10
Today I'm sore I'll admit, but I reckon if I work on the bike, things should be much easier...felt like someone was pelting my quads with cannonballs on the run following ride. It was a very new experience for me!
I can't say I "enjoyed" it, but I think its a great experience, but here's to preparing for the next time!
