Hi Gang,

Well, I just completed my last event for the season at Hickory Grove. It turned into a duathlon due to high ecoli levels in the lake (thanks pooping geese) so the only event I could really compare to last year me was the bike. I shaved almost ten minutes off of that and it felt great! With the completioin of this season, I have now finished three triathlons, got a DNF in a brutally hot and humid southern tri, and raced in a tri turned duathlon. So I guess I'm not really a newbie anymore. In fact, though I run through my transitions in my head before the race, I seldom practice them anymore as they are routine. I wanted to thank you again for all of the support and great articles, and to remind people to keep checking in here for tips and such. Just because you get a few tri's under your belt doesn't mean there isn't much more to learn, and you huys have a great resource here! Thanks again and Be Well!
