Congratulations! Signing up for a tri is one step, completing it is another. You did both.
I don't like to train with music. I want to tune into my body, listen to my breathing, hear my footsteps..feel. And since I can never use an MP3 player during a race, why train with one? But that's just me.
Plus I hear that race was pretty hot and humid- so you did veddy good!

Congratulations! And I thought Iron Girl is too big at 2200!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Wow, that's NUTS!! I saw the pros (must have been for international distance) didn't go off until after noon. It must have been HOT by then!!
It sounds like quite the experience, and a real milestone for you. Congratulations not just on starting/finishing the race, but on what it means to you.
Congrats to you, too, Syndirelah

Jen, I learned the lesson the hard way when I did the international a few years back. I hate that they count the run out in you swim time - makes me seem slower than I am. Congrats on doing the international. I may do that one again next summer.
