w00t, my best triathlon yet.

This was a 300m pool swim/20k bike/5k run. This was my first triathlon where I stayed composed on the swim (even when being passed) and where I ran the whole run.

I finished 5/14 AG, and 76/186 overall. I excelled at transitions (2/14 and 3/14) but my run is dragging me down 10/14. Definitely have to work at that.

The whole race report is here (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=124451) and my photos are here (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid=9489).

congratulations! I am in VA and am looking at the manassas race on the 10th of August (mini-sprint), I don't know...I'm afraid to look really bad! Very cool for you. I bet you feel awesome!

Great job, and some seriously nice transitions! I always lose track of time in transitions at short distances (well, any distance, but I care less at long distances). :cool:

Way to go!!!! Each small victory (like transitions and staying composed during the swim) add up to HUGE victories when you finish strong and happy. :D
Congrats!!!

p.s. I clicked on the pictures, but they didn't show up (little x's instead). I'm sure they're nice, tho. :)

They were there a little earlier today. Not sure what's up with this. Most are the same as those as the bottom of the race report.

OK- so long as we're not missing out on anything extra. ;) Your pictures and RR are great! You have such nice shoulders- good for swimming, eh?
Congrats again!!

Apparently they are working on functionality upgrades and things should be fixed sometime today.
