Whoooo freakin' whooo! First tri finished today, in 1hr 23 min. The swim was still the most challenging, even with all that preparation- the surf was out of control! The water was sooo murky also, and that really affected me, (I usually swim in very clear ocean water).I think I'll try a lake swim for my next one, and see how different that would feel!! All in all it was an awsome experience, and I'm going to keep going!!!
Thank you everyone for all the advice, and encouragement!

Congrats on your first finish. Hell of a time too, my first sprint took me damn near two hours.

So, sign up for your next race yet?

I would like to find another one this season, I'm looking into something in Sept. My times were 14:10 swim- 34:38 bike- 28:50 run. I took too long in T1 due to the fact that I was a bit traumatized from the rough swim!!!! I came in 10th in my age group (there were 17 of us)!
