Hi ladies, I just completed my first "sprint triathlon "yesterday. It was a 300yd. swim, 20k cycle and 5k run. Not an ironman but for this 49 year old mom I was mighty proud to finish! I don't have my times yet but I felt great about the swim and cycle. I'm not a runner and I was really beat at the end, but what fun! The nice people, atmosphere, the cool tri-bikes and gear and best of all the sense of accomplishment was "priceless". I'll do more this summer and would recommend them to anyone! I was so scared that I would be out of my league. Wrong! Old, young, in and out of shape, families doing relays, this is truly and event with something for everyone. April 30 I will ride my first century in the Eastern N.C. "Tour de Cure". A triathlon and a century ride were my 2 goals for 2005 (the year I turn 50). Since it's only April I guess I'll have to make some more! Thanks ladies, for your collective experience and support! I'm having so much fun. A bike has changed my life for the better. We are so lucky! Kimberly
