Just a quick note to all the members of the Trifuel community.
I finished my first race (sprint) this weekend. In doing so, i learned a few things about myself, as well as my standing as a triathlete.

I appreciate the insight on this forum and website. Although i have trained some with local folks, there is a ton of info here for FNG's (freakin new guy/gal) such as myself. In addition, you can often ask uestions you might not wanna bring up in a local group as to not sound so ignorant.

The many tips and trick were very helpful.

Only regret is not doing enough OWS. SO not the same as the pool! :-)

Thanks again. Race on and Race Hard!

Congrats on the first race!!!

Yes, OWS is much different from the pool. Something I did not expect my first time too.

Perhaps I will see you at Cane Creek!

Congrats on your first finish, it always will be with you. LN was my first as well about 10 years ago.

yep, it's an addiction for sure, but a socially acceptable one :)
