First tri of the year

[Bron]

Thanks everyone!

I like Faris. Not that he's overly cute...

True, but he comes across as being a decent bloke. He was quite happy to tell everyone about just how slow he was in his first triathlon and he stood in with the rest of the crowd to watch the swim starts - no v.i.p behaviour.

Congratulations on your first tri!

I have found that it takes time and lots of riding and perserverence to get speed up consistently on bike. I do duathlons. My coach insists that I stay on the small ring the whole time I ride during a race. One time, I didn't listen to him and paid the price of totally dead legs....my 2nd run was brutal, awful, dismal. My "following directions" skill has improved tremedously.....

I think this might be what I need to do - the limitation was the lack of strength in my legs.
