My first Tri, the reportage

Those are great photos! All of them are good! I don't think any of mine have ever turned out that well...:rolleyes:

Awesome!! Congrats!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/highfive.gif

Great report and GREAT first race! you rock in the water!

I switched my knobbies for slicks a few years ago and it did make a huge difference. When the budget allows for a different bike you will FLY!

I did the shirt over wet body thing too :rolleyes: and ended up just leaving it off until the run portion rather than fight w/ it.

GREAT pictures the pro ones especially are phenomenal.

Now you have me wishing I was going to do one more this season but alas once again other life things intervened.

Thanks so much guys!

I'm bummed though because I went to my LBS and they said the tires I've got on there are pretty slick right now and they could sell me a another set but it won't make that much of a difference. Damn.

So of course I walked over and looked at road bikes, they've got a WSD Trek 1000 that is within my budget. I'm going to go back and give it a test ride (I wasn't dressed properly for a ride that day). I just need a few more months to save up for it or look for a used one.
