My "First Triathlon" Story - Go Me!

Triathlon InspirationI finished my first triathlon today - the Wheat Ridge (CO) triathlon. In the last year I've lost 60 pounds and I started training for this in about January. I felt great today! The swim (500 meters) was easy, the bike (16 miles) was long, and the run (3 miles) was hard at the end. Luckily it was a very low key triathlon with only 30 participants. Time on my watch amounted to 2:01.54. Not bad for a first timer. Now what is next?! All I got was a stinkin t-shirt and total personal gratification! Go me! I feel great! :)
