Yahoo, I completed my first tri today.It was a Sprint in Lake Mills, WI, it was wonderful! I had a very large cheering section (maybe a little obnoxious) which helped a ton. My swim was great, although really really cold. I took time to get used to the water before my wave left. I did pretty well in the bike section and my transitions were fairly smooth, except for T2 when I "lost" my spot. (hehehe, my fans were nice enough to laugh with me and reassure me that I'd find it eventually). I definitely didn't do enough bricks before this race, the Bike to Run felt very goofy. I felt like I was hardly moving forward and I was struggling to keep up the shuffle/run. Thankfully, my run time wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I completed the whole thing in 1:32, which was way below my goal! That makes me happy. I'm signed up for the Danskin in July..I can't wait!! I look forward to training harder and hopefully improving!
