Congratulations!!! I get those "run for the portaloo" feelings before each race too ---- and sometimes before a ride/run with a new group!
It's exhilaration I believe!
Your times are great! YAY TO YOU!Lauren

Great job!! I knew you would do great. As far as the nervousness goes, I don't think that ever goes away (sorry to tell you that
), but it does become more bearable (sp?) When's the next one

Congratulations!
You did great, far from last place! 
That's a great bike average (18.64 mph for us non-metric people).
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

You did a great job on your first race! Thanks for sharing!

Great job, Alpine!!! I've done 8 triathlons, 4 sprint, 4 Oly, and I wanted to puke before every one! The nerves, the nerves...
...but once I'm out of the water, I get to ride my bike, and things get better.
You did phenomenally, especially in such chilly conditions. Congratulations!

Great Race!!
Good job. You did really well.
You're right, the easiest place to make the most gains when you're talking about training, is on the bike. You had a great race and the next will be even better.
