congrats, that's awesome. good to hear you enjoyed it and that it went well.
now, celebrate. then depending on the length of the race maybe take a couple days easy. If you're legs are sore you may consider a 30 minute spin on the bike or light run today to get the blood flowing and the lactate out. or treat yourslef to a massage or some time in a bath/spa.
if it was a sprint or oly, i'd try to keep up with your training and not take much time off. that'll only make it harder to get started again, and if you have another next month you'll want to keep going. just be sure you do have recovery (lighter volume and intensity) weeks every fourth week or so.

Great job congrats on your first tri. Keep up the training and get faster and better and then your next tri will be even better!

Way to go, Jeff! I did the half ironman down there. Keep up the good work. Also, don't think that all tris are run as poorly as that one was. Most tris are very organized with results posted before you get home. Also, most tris have much better facilities and rest stops.

rumor has it the computer with the results got lost by the airline and they're looking into the manual backup times.

results are posted now. i went an overall 1:27, swim-5:17, bike-52:35, run-29:18. I think it said I was 67/584 overall (1st and next tris combined). Hopefully when I do the tri in may I can improve my time by a lot!!!

i have a question and the more i look at the times the more it seems like some arent adding up. it doesnt really bother me on place and all that jazz just makes me wonder if there are precautions i need to look for during a race to make sure i get accurate times...i am pretty sure i recieved accurate times though in this one!!!

today i completed my first triathlon. it was the my first tri in galveston, tx. although afterwards my legs where aching and being tired i loved it. i cant wait to do another one. i didnt get my time yet though hopefully the results will be posted soon. i will be sure to keep informed. what are things that i should do now though, go back to training, take a week off or what? hopefully i will be doing another one ina month or so. i am trying to get sprints and hopefully do something bigger at the end of the season.
