As someone who considers herself no kind of athlete at all, this is very inspiring for me. And you look great, as well as really happy! Congrats! :drinker:

Thank you! I can't even tell you how excited I was when I went through that finish line, it was amazing.

Very nice... I have to warn you though.. tri's are addicting. I hope you had a great experience.

Congratulations! This is really cool!!! You're a rock star!

I have to say, your pics have great energy and confidence in them. Very impressive.

Well, welcome to The Dark Side. Yes, triathlon is addictive. HIGHLY addictive. Physically, emotionally, (monetarily...), it's easy to just let it take over. Yes, triathlon is fun fun fun FUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!! And, yes, one of the really cool aspects of the sport is that when you've done one, you are officially a tri ATHLETE! Like you, until I did my first, "athlete" was never a word I would have used on myself. I'm still a heavy triathlete, and I'm still a slow triathlete, but I'm a TRIATHLETE! And so are you.

This is so cool. Congratulations!!!

Yes! Exactly - for some reason, even though I have done a few running races before, this was the first time "athlete" as really clicked for me ! And I am totally hooked! Looking for my next one already.
