Congrats! This must have been the tri in Bethesda/Rockville that I was trying to get my coworker and wife to go for as their first.
The smug feeling is great but it's generally best to keep that amongst ourselves
What's your next tri?I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

+1 That is the truth! For some reason, no one else really like to hear about that

That was the one. It was *perfect* for a first tri--well organized, nice, manageable length, and lots of other newbies. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

Awesome! Iron Girl 2007 was the first tri I ever signed up for. Then I came to my senses and did a pool swim tri as my first tri, too. Originally Posted by sfa

Congrats, triathlete!!!
I was so excited to call myself a triathlete after my first race.
Sounds like you had a great time, and got in some good practice. I think you can MOST definitely call this one your first tri. When you put all three together on race day (no matter the distance), it's a pretty impressive thing!!! Considering three nights of rough sleep, you should be feeling pretty dang smug. I LOVE getting a race in and having that "what have YOU done today" attitude the rest of the day. Enjoy that feeling all week long!

Oh, & two litre bottles attached to a stick works much better than rocks. They don't sink to the bottom of the pool and are recyclable!

Congratulations on your first tri! And you are still going back for another. GREAT! Yeah -- the swim is pretty amazing the first time... nothing prepares you for that kick in the head and gulping water instead of air.
Good luck on #2!
Found this on youtube again. Oldie but a goodie !!!!!! You should definitely appreciate it more, now.
