I finished my first tri this morning. It was a 225 yard pool swim, 8 mile bike ride and a 2 mile run. I had so much fun. My goal was to finish around 1:15:00, and my final time was around 1:08. I am really happy with the way I did. I don't know my splits yet, but the worst for me was the bike ride. I was riding on my rickety old Schwinn mountain bike. I think it's time to shop for a road bike

. I will definitely do this race against next year, and I would also like to do a true sprint tri.

Thank you all for sharing all of your experiences. This race was an all-female race, and I was overwhelmed by how supportive everyone was of each other. It reminded me a lot of this board.

Can I AW my time real quick? My goal was 6 minute swim, 40 minute bike ride (I haven't ridden much and my bike is really crappy) and a 21 minute run. I exceeded each of these goals. Both my swim and my run were at a faster pace then I have ever done before. This is an especially big deal for the run since I've been running for about a year and a half and my legs were really tired. Maybe I'll hit my sub-30 minute 5k goal this year after all!
