Subject: I did it! Well, I managed to complete my first Tri. I've been training for about two months, running a few months before that. Used to be pretty active, pre-kids...pre-career, etc... Started running to get back in shape and always wanted to do a Tri. Did the Top Gun Triathlon in St. Pete, Fl. My final time was 1:26:08 -- actually beat my best 5k time during the Tri. I felt great after the event (in fact I felt so good I wondered if I pushed hard enough ) but when I went for a run the last two days still very sore and fatigued. Going out again today and hoping that my legs have recovered.
Next on the list is another Sprint Tri in October. |
