I did my first sprint tri on Saturday - woohoo what a great day. I shaved 11 minutes off my time from the same race last year :D - 3 minutes off the swim and 8 minutes off the bike! My total time was 1:37 - no record breaking speed, but I was so happy. I raced in the novice group, but had I raced in my AG, I would have been 4th (althought there's not that many of us!). I can't wait til the next race. The best part was, outside of being a little tired, I felt great after the race - I even got up yesterday and played a softball doubleheader - training really does pay off!!

Thanks for all the tips and advice from all of you out there - Ant ;)
