Wow! Thanks everyone! It is most certainly an experience I will never forget, as well as one I hope to repeat again and again! It's also exciting to be an inspiration to others. Not only to my online buddies, but to my family and friends. I love encouraging and helping others to be active and healthy

Daisy ~ Not sure when my next Tri is, but I already have 2 half marathons this fall, a 5 miler, a 10k, and a 5k ;-P

CJ~ Work towards a goal that isn't losing weight, work towards a certain mileage, or sign up for a race...I warn you though, it's quite addicting!

Fitmommy ~ you will!!

Sandy ~ Don't dwell on what you could have done, focus on what you're doing now, and you are amazing!!

Allison ~ That's the thing, I suck at swimming too ;-P You'd be surprised by how many triathletes will say the same thing, swimming is the hardest and slowest even for most. I will work on it before my next one!

Awesome!!! I wanna be like you! In the back of my mind, I keep thinking, "It's not too late for me to do a triathlon." I have to conquer the swimming.

You're amazing, congrats! You're an inspiration!

I'm still on the quitting process & I hope that with a new & refreshed lungs, someday I can run. I can swim & bike but not good in running.

Great job! I finished my first Duathalon- 2 mile run,15 mile bike,3.12 mile run 1st in my age group and 5th woman over all. I was pretty happy with that considering about 11 miles into the bike my seat came loose causing me to almost wreck and really tweak my low back but I made myself finish! My husband ran it with me and I was happy to still beat him, haha. He's rather athletic and has always been active where I pretty much just started in February of this year. We both decided we'd like to try a Tri next time. I am an ok swimmer and love the water BUT I hate putting my face in because I can never seem to find the right goggles and I wear contacts. Anyway, seeing this inspired me to go for it! Good Luck in all your upcoming events!

Don't give up, you'll feel amazing once those lungs are cleared

Thanks all!
