    Talking I am a triathlete now!

    I completed the Title 9 Womens' Tri in Mass yesterday! Yaaaaaay!

    I want to thank all of you lovely ladies for commenting on here or on my blog and offering your advice or support. I am already thinking about what race I will do next.

    If you are interested in reading the (detailed!) race report, here is the link: http://theunlikelytriathlete.blogspo.../i-did-it.html

    Thanks so much to everyone!

    EXCELLENT!!!
    Congrats!!!!
    I'm off to read all about it now.
    Way to go!!!!


    Just read all about it. You look BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, HAPPY, and FIT! I loved the commentary on the whole event, and must confess that I yelled "yay!" when I read about you finishing. I'm so happy for you! There's nothing like crossing a finish line that first time. You'll never forget it. Congrats again!!

    WOW, what a race report!!! You really toughed it out. I think you're a triathlete and a half for that effort. Congratulations for (mostly) keeping your composure and FINISHING! I loved the race report and pictures.

    GIRL. You've got GUTS! That is some race report, and some race you did! You should be really proud.

    I must admit that was the most entertaining RR I have read! Put a smile on my face to start my day (at work)!
    WOW tough bike leg! Nothing like equipment failure and a tough course. But you completed all 3 legs = Triathelete.

    Also congrats on being in a size L race shirt!!!

    So when is YOUR next tri?

    Congratulations!!! Great race report, even though it sounds like it was a really tough race--a lot of people would have given up when they had mechanical problems on the bike. Good for you for toughing it out and finishing!
