Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

YOWZER!
That's so dang cool that you were first on the bike and out on the run. How awesome!!!!!
Congrats on your 1st place AG and 12th overall. VERY impressive for your first fun tri (and you weren't even really kicking it in high gear, I'll bet).
You're going to have so much fun at that xterra.

Wahoo, Limewave! Good for you!
How's the new wetsuit working out? Any plans to wear it in a tri this season?Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

Incredible!!! How much training had you done? As in brick workouts, etc? Even though you were passed in the run, you still held it really well!
Just wow. My first one is in less than a month and I feel SO underprepared.
I think you've found a new calling

Brick workouts? What are those? Just kidding. I think I did one brick workout about a month before the race. Life, family, work, etc. just got in the way of the longer workouts. I have my second tri next weekend. I pre-rode the coarse yesterday and did a quick 3 mile run afterwards.
