    You deserve a SERIOUS medal for persevering through all that in your first tri! Well done! Just think, the next one can't help but feel way better.
    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

    OK, so all the rest have to go better than the first, right? We all made rookie mistakes in our first events (I ran with my helmet and gloves for 100 yds before a volunteer took them from me).
    You are a serious trooper for finishing the race. I might not have even showed up (pride on the line or not). Good for you for racing and racing well!!!! It's all uphill from here, baby.
