Competed in my first Sprint Triathlon on Sunday. Weather was perfect, water was 72F...brrr. I was pretty worried about how well I'd do since I'd been feeling crappy for the past 2 weeks and then drank way too much at a golf tournament on Friday--I'm hopless!!

I was originally hoping for a top 10 finish in my age group Rather ambitious, but it gave me a goal to train for. I ended up with 15th place, but very pleased with it!

RESULTS:

Age group = 40-47 (43)
Total competors in group = 37
Total competitors all ages = 105
Overall place 44/105
Age group place 15/37

Total time = 1:36:43
Swim (8/37) 17:17
Cycle+tansitions (11/37) 50:27
run (15/37) 28:58

Need to work on speeding up my run and transition times. I'm sure I'll cycle faster next year since I only bought my bike about 5 weeks ago! But, overall, I'm very please with my results!!

What an excellent experience this was and I will do it again next year for sure!
