Veteran  523  East Greenbush |  Subject: Its official...I AM A TRIATHLETE!!!I debated on weather to post or not as I haven't been very good about keeping my training log up to date but I completed my 1st sprint race on Sunday!! I did the "Anyone Can Tri" triathlon. It was a 325 yd pool swim, 10 mile bike and 5k run. My over all time was 1hr and 14 mins. I'll post a link to the official results once they are posted. I finished about the middle of the pack and I'm extremely pleased as my goal was to finish in less than an hour and a half. It wasn't until the 1st transition that it hit me....I am in a race!!! I was taking my time toweling off when I see guy fly out of the door of the pool and grab his bike and just take off bare footed!! I was oh s$#@!!! I have to get going!!! Anyway what a great experiance and thanks to this site to keep me motivated!!! |

Elite 3221 the desert | Subject: RE: Its official...I AM A TRIATHLETE!!! Careful. Tri training can be like crack. First you run and swim and bike. Then you do an event. You see all the pretty bikes and the cool gear....Then you start looking at your LBS and talking about OWS...it's addictive. |

Veteran 523 East Greenbush | Subject: RE: Its official...I AM A TRIATHLETE!!! Well my next race is in July. I am oing the Pine Bush triathlon (sprint). I am already signed up. I am also thinking about doing the Lake George Tri in Sept. This one is an olympic distance event. Now I just need to talk my wife into letting add a pair of clip on aero bars to my bike and get fitted with them. I will probably only do this if I do the Lake George event. The aero bars add will definately be purchased for next years race season. Any suggestions for clip on? On all three sports they had a couple of pairs in the sub $100 range. |
