I can't wait to do another race--I'm considering criteriums. Any one have any good stories or tips for someone preparing to do one?

Woo!
Congrats!

Great time on the bike!

I did my first duathlon (2 miles running, 10 miles biking, 2 miles running, 10 miles biking, 2 miles running)... in April 2005!

I had a great time... all though I HATE getting up before the sun rises!

Yea... I didn't do so hot... I'm not real competitive... all I cared about was NOT coming in last... but I did beat 10 people! 100 out of 110! HA!

It was so funny, I sent my Dad the pictures... and he was like, "Where are all the other people that are competing with you?"... to which I replied, "When you are 100 out of 110, you are pretty much alone."

Oh well.

I have a sprint triathlon coming up June 18, 2005 that I will be competing in. It should be a ton of fun!

Now, I need to get in more miles on my feet... I have been slacking!
