Another first tri report.
To disable ads, please log-in.
Well I did my first tri last weekend too. Did one back many years ago but can hardly remember that now. It was just a shorty 300m/10k/3k but was a great experience. I learnt a lot particularly in transition - I was way slower than everyone else mainly because I was using awkward to put on clothing. I also need to practice getting into my shoes when they are clipped on the bike.
Overall it was a great morning, on a great beginners course which was flat with lots of room for everyone. I came second in my age group and 5th women overall (I think there were only 20 though).
Need to get cracking now if I'm going to finish a HIM in Sept

Congratulations Beetle!
Well... a HIM in September? You better get to training!
My HIM is in October, and I'm already worried I won't come off the 56 mike bike fresh... if I don't start kicking my miles into high gear... soon.
Best of luck and keep us updated!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Congrats! Great finish!
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
