Congratulations! You did great! And the pictures are fun, too!
I'm glad you mentioned the Athena thing...I was really surprised (and a little disillusioned!) I fell into that category when I read the rules/etc for my duathlon. Kind of glad I'm not the only one who felt that way at first.

"I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood."
Susan B. Anthony, 1896
