    Great job! I am training right now for my first triathlon as well! It is a sprint tri - 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike, and 5k run. I am terrified and know that my time will be slow. My goal is to FINISH! I loved your story. It keeps me motivated knowing other newbies are out there. Did you do any protein shots, bars, etc during transitions?

    Awesome job! Triathlons are a LOT of fun. I just did the full Ironman a few months ago so I think it's cool that triathlon has become a fitness buzzword (well, maybe 2nd to zumba)

    prplldybg - for a short race, you can get by ok on Gatorade beforehand and during, if needed. If you want something that will keep you going, I recommend Gu Bloks and water. They're pretty tasty and come in convenient packs.
