So is 46 "THE AGE" for first triathlons?
I am 45, but my "end of the year" age is 46. I'll have my race report in Sept.
I'm off to the pool tonight, next week I'll do my first OW swim in preparation. I am pretty darn scared of the swim. I figure it may take me 1/2 hour, but I can doggie paddle or back stroke if I have to!
I don't expect to place. I even entered as a novice.

And now for the CONGRATS! So you are doing 2 tri's this summer? Cool!
And to place--WOW. Even if it is a small size it doesn't matter you came in 2nd in your age group--AWESOME!
