WHOO HOO! I just completed my very first tri ever! How fun. The atmosphere was so uplifting and, well, fun. I never had this much fun training. I found myself giggling and singing to myself on the bike ride. I suppose opening my eyes and seeing a fish swimming along with me during the swim set me up for a giggly good time!

I don't quite know how to describe it except that it left me excited! About pushing myself, participating in something to be proud of, meeting so many inspirational women. One woman completed the tri (it was a sprint) in 40 minutes....wow!

Cheers! Here's to a new addiction!

Melissa :D

If it was fun AND easy, everyone would do it!

A big Congrats. I know exactly how you feel. I was just as excited after I finished my first 1/2IM this year. It was something very special to me. Enjoy the feeling. Be proud of yourself.

Good for you!

That's awesome. Race's and how they make me feel is why I continue to train. Awesome job!

I did my first open water triathlon this passed weekend. What a rush. Triathlon brings new challenges and new rewards.
